Question juridique clé
Whether the canton, as pension fund carrier, had standing to appeal the IV pension decisions.
Solution extraite
Yes. The pension fund was directly affected because the IV disability assessment binds occupational pension organs and can determine their potential liability.
Motifs extraits
Because the rent decision directly affects the presumptive benefit obligation of the occupational pension institution under Art. 49(4) ATSG, the canton's appeal was admissible.
