Supreme Court denies disability pension to self-employed who became disabled after 18 months of unemployment.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a self-employed individual could claim a disability pension after becoming disabled following an 18-month unemployment period. The applicant argued that the 18-month rule should apply to his case, but the court found that the legislative intent was to exclude self-employed persons from this specific pension category. Consequently, the court ruled that the 18-month condition does not apply to self-employed individuals seeking disability benefits under the relevant social security laws.
