Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured could claim an early old-age pension instead of invalidity benefits under the cantonal teachers' pension rules.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The regulations distinguish reduced working capacity from full earning incapacity; full disability falls under the invalidity pension provision, not the early old-age pension provision.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 26 para. 2 of the ordinance allows an early old-age pension for persons over 60 in special circumstances, especially reduced working capacity, but the claimant was fully earning-incapable after the accident. Art. 45bis para. 1 expressly governs such full incapacity and grants an invalidity pension. The system of the ordinance excludes a free choice between the two pensions in this situation.
