Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant retained a claim to BVK severance pension and bridging supplement under §§ 36-39 of the BVK statutes.
Solution extraite
The statutory benefits were not due once he had already validly opted for and withdrawn the vested benefits; the claim could no longer be asserted.
Motifs extraits
The benefits are insurance benefits for involuntary dismissal, not preservation-of-benefits measures under FZG/FZV. The appellant exercised his choice under § 36(1) by requesting payment of the vested benefits in 2004, thereby irrevocably consuming the option.
