The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision and remanded the case for a new trial. The applicant sought a disability pension based on military service and employment, but the lower court relied on medical commissions that failed to include an ophthalmologist. The court held that because the medical expert could not determine when the disability arose due to a lack of documentation, the lower court violated its duty to collect available medical records from the relevant period.
