Questão jurídica principal
Whether the pension foundation had standing to challenge the IV office's stated start date of the one-year waiting period.
Decisão extraída
No standing existed because the earlier date was not bindingly तयined in the dispositive part of the IV decision and the late application prevented any binding assessment of earlier incapacity.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 49(4) ATSG, standing requires a concrete, legally relevant adverse effect. The binding effect of IV findings for BVG applies only to issues actually निर्णined and relevant for the pension award. Since the application was filed late, the IV decision could not have bindingly determined incapacity more than two years earlier; the waiting-period date in the reasoning part had no res judicata effect.
