Key legal question
Whether the accident insurer had standing under Art. 49(4) ATSG to appeal the IV decision reducing the insured’s pension.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the insurer paid a complementary pension, the IV reduction directly affected its coordination-based payment obligation and constituted sufficient concern under Art. 49(4) ATSG.
Extracted reasoning
The court distinguished prior case law denying standing where the insurer was not legally bound by the IV assessment. Here, the complementary pension mechanism under UVG created a direct, immediate effect on the insurer’s liability; the reduction of the offsetting IV pension increased the insurer’s burden.
