Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for a pension retroactive to April 1, 1994, limiting payment to the year prior to the application date. Although the applicant met the age requirement in March 1994 and applied in October 1996, the court found no special reason to extend coverage beyond the standard one-year retroactive period allowed by the Nordic Social Security Agreement. The majority ruled that without specific justification, the claim for payments prior to November 1995 was inadmissible, while a minority member suggested the dispute concerned the payment itself rather than the pension's existence.

X on täyttänyt vanhuuseläkeiän 11.3.1994. Vanhuuseläkehakemus on saapunut Ruotsin sairauskassaan 7.10.1996. X:lle on myönnetty vanhuuseläke 1.11.1995 alkaen, koska 3.1.1996 jälkeen saapuneella Pohjoismaiseen sosiaaliturvasopimukseen perustuvalla uudelleenlaskentahakemuksella eläke voidaan myöntää hakemuksesta enintään vuosi takautuvasti. Vakuutusoikeus on katsonut, ettei ole esitetty erityistä syytä maksaa eläkettä pidemmältä kuin vuoden ajalta ennen eläkkeen hakemista ja hylännyt X:n vaatimuksen vanhuuseläkkeen myöntämisestä 1.4.1994 alkaen. Vähemmistöön jäänyt jäsen katsoi, että kysymys oli eläkkeen maksamisesta ja olisi tämän vuoksi jättänyt valituksen tutkimatta.
