Military pension denied for period receiving annual pay and separate severance compensation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's cassation request against a lower court ruling that suspended military pension payments. The applicant argued that the suspension was unjustified for periods outside the specific annual pay interval, claiming the severance compensation period should not disqualify pension eligibility. The court held that the statutory rule allowing a choice between pension and annual pay does not extend to severance compensation, thereby invalidating the lower court's interpretation.
