Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the pension fund was entitled to appeal the IV pension decisions
Decisione estratta
Yes. Because the IV decisions were served on the occupational pension fund and could affect its statutory benefits, it had standing to appeal.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 49(4) ATSG and the IV notification rules, a pension fund directly affected by an IV disability assessment may use the same remedies as the insured person.
