Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a farmer injured in a work accident before joining the pension insurance scheme could receive a disability pension. The applicant, who suffered a work-related injury as a farm worker's child, was granted a disability pension based on his long-term inability to work in agriculture. The court held that the statutory provision allowing concurrent payments applies because the disability originated from a work accident, establishing the right to treat the pension as an accident pension.
