Military disability pension denied due to lack of service connection; private expert opinions rejected by Supreme Court.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal to grant a military disability pension. The applicant, a fully disabled veteran, argued that his private medical opinions proved a service-related disability, but the court found his condition was hereditary and unrelated to military service. Consequently, the court ruled that the lower court correctly omitted further expert testimony as the essential facts were already sufficiently clarified.
