The court, in rendering its decision, was guided by the fact that preferential old-age pension is not a separate type of pension, but only provides preferential conditions (reduced retirement age) for the assignment of a regular old-age pension. Therefore, a person who is already receiving a preferential old-age pension cannot repeatedly claim assignment of the same type of pension (old-age pension) with the application of a new average wage indicator. Importantly, the court deviated from the previous practice of the Supreme Court, which had allowed such a possibility.
