Questão jurídica principal
How should the vested benefits be calculated when contributions were made both before and after the entry into force of the LPP under two regimes?
Decisão extraída
The vested benefits must be calculated using the Federal Court's comparative method: the two values referred to in Art. 28(2) LPP are compared, and the higher amount is awarded in addition to the pre-LPP occupational pension entitlement.
Fundamentação extraída
When the same insured person has accrued rights under two successive legal regimes with the same institution, the court applies a comparative calculation to avoid an unjustified disadvantage. The higher of the two statutory values governs, while the pre-LPP accrued benefits remain separately preserved.
