Questão jurídica principal
Whether the deceased had to be treated as rentenbeziehend under the PUBLICA regulations at the time of death.
Decisão extraída
She was to be treated as rentenbeziehend because the entitlement to invalidity pension had arisen retroactively, even though payment was postponed by the employer's continued salary obligation.
Fundamentação extraída
The wording of Arts. 43-47 VRAB must be read together with Arts. 51 and 52 VRAB. 'Rentenbeziehend' is not limited to actual payment; a person with an existing pension entitlement deferred for overcompensation reasons still counts as pension-receiving.
