Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the termination of the widower’s pension under Art. 24(2) AHVG was lawful after the youngest child reached 18.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The statutory condition was fulfilled, so the entitlement ended.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 24(2) AHVG clearly provides that a widower’s pension expires when the youngest child reaches 18. The Federal Court held that EMRK arguments cannot override the clear statutory rule here.
