Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the pension could be abolished under the transitional provisions of the 6th IV revision despite more than 15 years of pension receipt.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The exclusion clause for persons receiving an IV pension for more than 15 years at the time review was initiated prevented application of the transitional provision.
Extrahierte Begründung
The relevant reference point is the start of pension entitlement, not the date of the pension grant decision. Since the insured had received a pension since 1 April 1996, the transitional review was barred.
