The Supreme Court set aside a lower court's decision granting a disability pension based on general health while ignoring an expert report linking the disability to a 1978 work accident. The applicant argued the court failed to consider the expert's finding of a work-related injury, whereas the court admitted the disability existed but lacked evidence on its onset date relative to the accident. The court ruled this contradiction required a retrial to determine if the pension should be granted retroactively from the accident date.
