Key legal question
Whether the adult child could receive the invalidity child pension directly instead of the pension recipient father.
Extracted holding
No. The statutory and regulatory rules do not provide for direct payment to an adult child, and no gap exists for judicial filling.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 35 IVG and Art. 71ter AHVV regulate payment to the pension recipient or, in special cases, to the non-entitled parent with custody and cohabitation. Adult majority removes custody, and the different treatment from orphan pensions is system-consistent. Zivil courts remain competent to adjust maintenance and can ensure proper use of the pension.
