Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the AI office had to examine the new pension application despite the earlier final refusal of vocational measures.
Decisione estratta
The office had to enter into the merits, because the first decision concerned only vocational rehabilitation and not a pension claim.
Motivazione estratta
The rules on repeat applications after a final refusal apply only where the new request concerns the same benefit. A prior refusal of vocational measures does not bar a later pension claim, which is a different entitlement and must be reviewed fully on the facts and law.
