Military veteran with combined service and general disability groups cannot retire under specific pension law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's request for early retirement based on a specific pension statute. The applicant, a military veteran with a third-group service disability and second-group general health disability, argued that the law should apply to his combined status. The court ruled that the statute explicitly requires a first or second group disability solely from military service, excluding general health conditions.
