The Insurance Court reversed the Review Board's decision to deny social security benefits based on a single continuous residence period. The applicant had lived in Finland with a home and paid taxes, while working briefly in Poland, Russia, and Indonesia. The court determined these foreign stays were temporary and did not break the applicant's continuous residence in Finland.

X oli 18.12.1993-26.10.1994 asunut perheineen Suomessa ja hänellä oli ollut täällä varsinainen asunto ja koti. X oli myös ilmoituksensa mukaan mainitulta ajalta maksanut tuloveronsa Suomeen ja 18.12.1993-17.12.1994 tosiasiallisesti oleskellut täällä enemmän aikaa kuin ulkomailla. VakO katsoi, ettei X:lla sanottuna aikana ollut olennaisempia siteitä johonkin muuhun maahan kuin Suomeen ottaen myös huomioon X:n sanottuna aikana olleiden ulkomaan työkohteiden lukumäärän Puolassa, Venäjällä ja Indonesiassa. X:n ulkomailla oleskelua ei siten pidetty asumiseen perustuvan sosiaaliturvalainsäädännön soveltamisesta annetun lain tarkoittamalla tavalla yhdenjaksoisena vaan X:n katsottiin 18.12.1993 palanneen pysyvästi oleskelemaan Suomeen ja sittemmin vasta 26.10.1994 siirtyneen ulkomaille. Tarkastuslautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin.
