Kantonsgericht Entscheid 2020/460 vom 15.06.2020 (VD)

Date:	15.06.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	A man who has been unable to work since 1998 is entitled to a pension. The man has carried out various activities in his professional life, all of which are difficult to qualify as physically difficult. The insurance company initially refused the pension due to the fact that the man did not fulfill the required minimum working time of 15 years. The insurance court overturned the decision of the insurance company and awarded the pension. The court ruled that the minimum working time is not applicable, since the man was not able to engage in any other activity due to his disability. More detailed summary: The man, born in 1964, has been unable to work since 1998. He has carried out various activities in his professional life, including working as a full-time farmer for 15 years.
