Questão jurídica principal
Whether the pension fund was entitled to appeal the IV pension decisions
Decisão extraída
Yes. Because the IV decisions were served on the occupational pension fund and could affect its statutory benefits, it had standing to appeal.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
