Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined an appeal against the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision regarding disability pension entitlement. The appellant claimed entitlement to disability benefits attributable to military service, with a disability rounding off to 50%. The Tribunal held that the disability was less than 20%, denying relief. The Court analyzed the legal provisions related to disability attribution and rounding off, ultimately upholding the Tribunal's decision based on the disability percentage. The judgment clarifies the criteria for disability pension eligibility under military service laws.
