Supreme Court allows concurrent receipt of agricultural and non-agricultural disability pensions under transitional rules.

The Supreme Court reversed lower court rulings to permit the claimant to receive both a rural disability pension and a non-rural disability pension concurrently. The claimant had filed for agricultural benefits in 1990, transferred her farm by the statutory deadline, and later acquired a separate non-agricultural pension right. The Court held that transitional provisions preserved the right to concurrent benefits for those who met the specific agricultural transfer requirements before the new law took effect.
