Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Tribunal could review claims for benefits before 2003-01-31 that had not been the subject of a prior administrative decision
Extrahierter Entscheid
No review was possible for additional pre-termination benefits because there was no prior disputable administrative decision and the complaint lacked adequate reasoning.
Extrahierte Begründung
The administrative decision defined the subject matter of the dispute; without a prior decision there was no appealable object and thus no admissible claim.
