The insured had submitted the complaint to the pension fund on time, which then forwarded it to KELA after the deadline. The court overturned this decision, ruling that serious reasons for the delay justified the late submission.

Tarkastuslautakunta jätti valituksen myöhään tehtynä tutkimatta, koska se oli saapunut KELA:lle 10.7.1995

eli määräpäivän 26.6.1995 jälkeen. Vakuutettu oli 13.6.1995 toimittanut valituskirjelmän työeläkelaitokseensa, josta oli otettu häneen yhteyttä ja luvattu toimittaa valitus KELA:lle, mikä oli kuitenkin tapahtunut vasta määräajan jälkeen. Katsottiin, että valituksen myöhästymiselle oli ollut painavia syitä, joten tarkastuslautakunnan päätös kumottiin. VI-jaosto
