Supreme Court allows disability pension claim where invalidity arose during parental leave under revaluation act rules.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's refusal of a disability pension, remanding the case for a new decision. The applicant argued that her invalidity, which began during parental leave, should qualify for the pension under the 1991 revaluation act, which treats parental leave as equivalent employment time. The court agreed that the lower court incorrectly excluded this period, holding that the statutory conditions for acquiring the right to a disability pension were met when the invalidity occurred during such leave.
