Kantonsgericht Entscheid 2020/394 vom 02.06.2020 (VD)

Date:	02.06.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	A. B., an Iraqi refugee, applied for a disability pension. The insurance company refused the application, as A. B. was not severely disabled. The insurance court proved A. B. right and awarded him a disability pension. The court based its decision on the fact that A. B. was no longer able to pursue gainful employment due to his mental illness. The insurance company can file an appeal to the Federal Court against the verdict. More details: A. B. is 49 years old and has two children. He came to Switzerland in 2009 and received refugee status in 2010. He has no vocational training and has not been in gainful employment since 2012. He has been unemployed since 2017 and suffers from a mental illness. Explanation: The judgment of the Insurance Court is an important precedent for the assessment of disability applications from refugees. The court has ruled that refugees who do not have vocational training can also be entitled to a disability pension if they are no longer able to work due to illness or disability.
