Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insurer validly imposed a three-year reservation for back disorders due to reticence on the admission forms.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The claimant knew or should have known that his longstanding back disorders were significant and recurrent, so answering that he was in good health amounted to reticence justifying the reservation.
Extrahierte Begründung
Past disability benefits, repeated medical reports, and the chronic nature of the lumbar complaints showed that the questionnaire answer was misleading; such disorders had to be disclosed even without current incapacity.
