The Insurance Court allowed the pensioner's request to revoke a prior pension choice made before July 1, 1989. The court found that the pensioner acted within the statutory period established by the transitional provisions of the State Pension Act, which remained valid until June 30, 1999. Consequently, the court rejected the State Office's appeal and confirmed the pensioner's right to change their selection.

X oli eläkettä hakiessaan ilmoittanut kirjallisesti valitsevansa ennen 1.7.1989 voimassa olleiden säännösten mukaisen eläkeikäoikeutensa. Ottaen huomioon ne olosuhteet, joissa X oli valintailmoituksensa tehnyt kuten se, että valituksenalainen päätös ei ollut tullut lainvoimaiseksi sekä se, että valintaoikeus oli valtion eläkelain muuttamisesta annetun lain 3.2.1989/103 voimaantulosäännöksen nojalla voimassa 30.6.1999 asti, X:llä oli katsottava olevan oikeus valinta-ajan sisällä perua tekemänsä valintailmoitus. Valtion eläkelautakunnan päätöstä ei Valtiokonttorin valituksen johdosta muutettu.
