Social Security Court rules that the base amount for pension recalculation is the one used for the social portion, not the disability base.

The Supreme Social Security Court resolved a legal question regarding the correct base amount for recalculating a pension when the base is derived from a disability pension. The insured requested a new calculation based on twenty years of earnings, but the Social Security Office applied the base amount previously used for the social portion of the pension. The Court held that the base amount 'lastly adopted for calculating the benefit' refers specifically to the amount used for the social portion, not the disability base used for the main calculation.
