Key legal question
Whether the claim for additional disability allowance for 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2005 was time-barred under Art. 24(1) ATSG.
Extracted holding
Yes. The entitlement had already lapsed when the request was made on 8 January 2011.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 24(1) ATSG also applies to timely filed or otherwise preserved claims; the five-year period had expired before the request. The case was not one of enforcement of an already definitively awarded benefit.
