Key legal question
Whether the pension fund had standing to appeal the IV pension decision of 30 September 2009.
Extracted holding
The pension fund was not entitled to appeal because the wartezeit began on 6 October 2006, when its coverage had already ended; the decision did not adversely affect its legal position.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 49(4) ATSG, only an entity that is actually affected may appeal. Here the pension fund had no material detriment, since it had no liability if the waiting period started on 6 October 2006. The insured person alone could challenge an earlier start date.
