The Insurance Court modified the disability pension decision, increasing it to full disability status effective February 1, 1986, based on new medical examinations conducted in January and February 1986. The applicant argued for a full increase while the insurer contended the original assessment remained valid, but the court found the updated medical evidence justified the change. Consequently, the court ordered additional interest payments from May 1, 1986, to cover the period between the original decision and the new ruling.
