Supreme Court dismisses claim that Art. 98(3) FUS allows recovery of overpaid pension differences.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding the recovery of a pension difference between a higher training pension and a lower disability pension. The insured had received a higher training pension while simultaneously entitled to a lower disability pension, creating an overpayment that the Social Insurance Institution sought to deduct from future payments. The court ruled that Article 98(3) of the Social Insurance Act only permits offsetting benefits within the same period, not recovering differences between distinct benefit types across different periods.
