The applicant argued that holding public trust positions caused a loss of employment income, necessitating a pension recalculation. The court ruled that such duties constitute a special exception under the State Pension Act, validating the adjustment.

X oli hakenut eläkepalkan harkinnanvaraista tarkistamista todeten ansioidensa alentuneen kunnallisten luottamustoimien vuoksi. VakO katsoi, että kunnallisesta luottamustoimesta on oikeus kieltäytyä ainoastaan laissa säädetyin edellytyksin. Kunnallisen luottamustehtävän hoitaminen saattaa aiheuttaa luottamushenkilölle työansioiden sekä sitä kautta myös eläkkeen menetystä. VakO katsoi, että kunnallisen luottamustoimen hoitaminen oli sellainen valtion eläkelain 7 §:n 2 momentin tarkoittama poikkeuksellinen syy, jonka perusteella eläkkeen perusteena olevaa palkkaa voidaan harkinnanvaraisesti tarkistaa. Valtion eläkelautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin tältä osin.
