Key legal question
Whether the insured earnings for the survivor's pension had to be increased based on the employer's later wage settlement and comparison judgment.
Extracted holding
The insured earnings must be based on the wages actually received; the later settlement did not justify using the higher claimed amount.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that actual wage payments govern, not contract labels or a settlement potentially influenced by the worker's reduced capacity and social considerations. No sufficient indication of a sham wage arrangement existed, and the invalidity pension could not be added to the insured earnings.
