Pskov court counted the logger preferential experience, but did not appoint a pension

The Pskov City Court considered the case against the Department of the Pension and Social Insurance Fund in the Pskov region. The applicant demanded to include periods of work in the special insurance period and to appoint an early old-age pension. This “MK in Pskov” reported in the press service of the courts of the region.

The department refused to assign a pension due to the lack of the necessary preferential experience. It did not include controversial periods of work: in the production cooperative "Lesoruk", the Forestry Enterprise "Krona", Dedovichi forestry, rural forestry, Dedovichi branch of LLC "Nevskaya Zvezda", LLC "Westnodvinskaya LK" and other organizations.

The pension authority referred to the lack of documentary evidence of the preferential nature of work and information about the preferential code in the individual personal account.

The Court found that at certain periods the applicant had been engaged in a single logging process full-time. These periods are to be included in the special experience. But taking into account the included periods, the preferential experience was less than the required 12 years 6 months, so the appointment of an early pension is denied.

The rest of the claim is upheld.
