Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant had to pay a child supplementary pension for 2002-2006 under the occupational pension scheme.
Decisione estratta
No; an enveloping pension institution may replace the mandatory disability pension and child supplement with one higher regulatory disability pension, provided the regulatory benefits are not below the statutory minimum.
Motivazione estratta
The Court overruled earlier case law and held that the mandatory and regulatory pensions are to be compared as whole prestations. Because the respondent's regulatory disability pension exceeded the combined statutory minimum disability pension and child supplement, no additional child supplement was due.
