Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to exemption from the military service replacement tax due to an 'important physical or mental impairment' under Art. 4(1)(a) WPEG.
Extracted holding
No. The diabetes-related impairment did not amount to an important disability within the meaning of the statute.
Extracted reasoning
The court accepted the administrative assessment that the appellant's condition corresponded to less than 40% integrity loss. The medical record showed that type 1 diabetes generally does not restrict work capacity in most occupations, and no additional somatic complications were proven.
