The Insurance Court dismissed the estate's claim for a family pension, ruling it was not a benefit the deceased would have received during their lifetime. The applicant argued the pension was payable upon death, but the court held that such benefits require entitlement while the insured was alive. Consequently, the decision of the Pension Board was upheld without modification.

Perhe-eläkettä on pidettävä sellaisena etuutena, jota siihen oikeutetun olisi tullut hakea elinaikanaan. Kuolinpesän hakemus oli näin ollen hylättävä. Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu. IV-jaosto VAKO 682:65, VAKO 998:76, VAKO 4009:81 Työeläke 1/73, 4/79
