The Insurance Court modified the Social Security Board's decision regarding a freelance journalist's pension eligibility. The applicant earned significant income as a film critic and article writer between 1948 and 1981, with earnings of 4,690, 6,280, and 11,730 marks in 1979, 1980, and 1981 respectively. The court determined that working as an independent reviewer and author constituted self-employment rather than regular employment, thereby qualifying the income for pension benefits.
