Kernrechtsfrage
Whether disability benefits had to start on 1 May 2001 or only on 1 December 2003 under former Art. 48(2) LAI.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Because the claim was filed more than twelve months after the right arose, benefits were payable only for the twelve months preceding the application; the correct start date was 1 December 2003.
Extrahierte Begründung
The applicable law is that in force when the legally relevant facts occurred. The insured filed on 23 December 2004 and the right to a pension arose on 1 May 2001; former Art. 48(2) LAI therefore limited retroactive payment to twelve months before filing.
