The Supreme Court refused to issue a binding precedent regarding the suspension of disability benefits when an employee earns income while receiving a pension. The applicant argued that earning income from contracts should suspend her statutory accident pension, but the court found no legal basis for such suspension under the relevant laws. Consequently, the court declined to establish a general rule, leaving the lower court to determine if the benefits were improperly paid due to the absence of a mandatory warning to the recipient.
