Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insured was entitled to continued contribution exemption and pension credits during IV retraining under the pension fund rules.
Decisione estratta
No. Under the applicable regulations, contribution exemption presupposes compensable incapacity/invalidity; during IV retraining with ongoing benefits in kind, no pension entitlement arises.
Motivazione estratta
The fund rules link contribution exemption to invalidity in the sense of the IV/ATSG and make it accessory to a pension entitlement. During reintegration measures financed by IV, the insured does not yet have a pension claim, so the condition is not met.
