The Insurance Court dismissed the widow's request to adjust her pension based on her prior service in the VEL scheme. The pension authority had granted a pension starting in 1986 but failed to properly assess her total pension security when the VEL service was ending. The court ruled that the decision was flawed because it did not adequately consider the combined effect of all pension sources on the applicant's security.
