The court was guided by the fact that preferential old-age pension is not a separate type of pension provision, but only provides preferential conditions (reduction of retirement age) for the appointment of an old-age pension. Since the plaintiff is already receiving an old-age pension on preferential terms, he is not entitled to a repeated appointment of the same type of pension (old-age pension) on general grounds with the application of a new average wage indicator. In this regard, the Supreme Court directly deviated from its previous legal positions, which allowed such a possibility.
