which the income exceeds 50 kronor. When the annual income exceeds 100
kronor, the pension increment is reduced by half the amount of the income.
The pension increment thus estimated is, however, increased by O’os % for
every krona of the pension fees paid in full. Example: Suppose that a man
has for 12 years of his life paid in annual pension fees 13 kronor, for 18 years
8 kronor, for 10 years 5 kronor, and for 8 years 3 kronor. The aggregate of
the pension fees paid will thus be 374 kronor. The fee pension is 30 % of
this amount, or 112’20 kronor. For a woman who has made the same payments
the fee pension will be 24 % of 374 kronor, that is 89"76 kronor. If now the
man at the time when he incurs disablement is in receipt of an annual income
of 110 kronor, his increment will be 95 kronor, without reckoning the
above-mentioned addition of O’os % for every krona of the fees paid. The addition,
however, now accrues, and makes 0"os % X 374 = 29’92 % of 95 kronor, that is
28-42 kronor, the total increment being 123’42 kronor. The man’s entire pension
will thus be 112’20 + 123"42 = 235-62 kronor. In the case of a woman in
receipt of an income of 110 kronor, the increment, without reckoning the
addition of O’os ’/,, would have been 85 kronor. The addition would make 29’92 %
of this sum, that is 25’43 kronor, and the entire pension increment would
thus be 110-43, and the total pension 89"76 + 110’43 = 20 0’i9 kronor. The
maximum pension amounts are 428’46 kronor for men, and 373’38 kronor for
women.
In the annual income which is taken as the base for computing the amount
of the increment, the fee pension is not included. If the income consists entirely
or partially of payments in kind, the rule is that for persons who are able
to gain a complete, even though scanty, subsistence from their income, the
annual income shall not be estimated lower than 300 kronor for men, and 280
kronor for women. In other words, they shall not receive any increment to
their pension. The annual value of a rent-free dwelling shall not be assessed
lower than 50 kronor.
In estimating the amount of the increment for married couples, the annual
income for each of them shall be rated at half of their joint income.
A person who is disabled at the age of 15, or who afterwards becomes disabled
without fees having been paid in for his account, shall not be entitled to
a pension, or to an increment to his pension. But he may receive relief to
the same amount, and under the same conditions, as in the case of a pension
increment.
A pension may be withdrawn if the invalidity has ceased to exist and the
pensioner has recovered his capacity for work; however, the fee pension shall
not be withdrawn in the case of pensioners who have reached the age of 67.
The increment alone shall be withdrawn if the annual income has risen above
the amount entitling to an increment to the pension. If the income otherwise
increases or diminishes, the increment shall be reduced or raised accordingly.
An increment applied for shall not be granted, and an increment already
granted to a person otherwise pensionable shall be withdrawn, in the following
cases (the legal term for which is värdighetsbestämmelserna, or "regulations as
to respectability"): (a) If he has dispossessed himself of, or secreted, income or
property with the deliberate object of obtaining an increment, or a higher
increment than he would otherwise have been entitled to; (b) if he has been
guilty of contumacy or manifest negligence in the fulfilment of his obligation
as to the payment of fees; and (c) if he manifestly is not endeavouring to
contribute to his subsistence in accordance with his capacity, or if he is addicted
to intemperance. In the two first cases the pension committee may grant a
reduced increment.
The increment shall further be withdrawn during the period in which a pen-
