The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of a disability pension claim because the trial court failed to order necessary expert medical opinions to determine the exact onset of the disability. The applicant argued that the lower courts ignored the statutory requirement to verify employment history within the ten years preceding disability or claim filing. The court ruled that without establishing the precise date of disability, the five-year work requirement under the Social Security Act could not be legally assessed, necessitating a remand for further fact-finding.
