Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the pension foundation had to include an earlier vested-benefits policy in the insured basis for calculating the disability pension.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Once the insured person had already maintained former pension assets through a lawful vested-benefits policy, the new institution could refuse a later transfer after the insured event occurred.
Extrahierte Begründung
The mandatory transfer rule under the Vested Benefits Act is limited where the insured has already set up another lawful form of continued coverage. A late transfer request after disability does not oblige the new institution to accept assets that are already placed in a vested-benefits policy.
