Key legal question
Whether the appellant had a right to a disability pension under Swiss IV law despite becoming invalid before paying the required contributions.
Extracted holding
No entitlement arose because the insured event occurred in 1976, before the appellant had paid the minimum AHV/IV contributions.
Extracted reasoning
The 2001 accident only aggravated the pre-existing 1975 injury and did not create a new insured event. Since the appellant had not yet satisfied the contribution requirement when the original disability became pension-relevant, the pension claim fails.
