Family pension granted to heirs even if deceased had no pension rights but met long-term contribution requirements.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that granted a family pension to the deceased's minor child. The Social Insurance Institution had denied the claim because the deceased, a woman, did not meet the strict five-year contribution requirement within the last ten years before death. The court ruled that while the five-year rule applies to disability pensions, it does not apply to family pensions when the deceased has already met the general long-term contribution threshold for a full pension.
