Estonia · Riigikogu · 14 June 2018

The bill amends the Law on the Implementation of the Law on Defense Forces Service and the Law on Police and Border Guards, the current version of which affects defense forces who retired before 01.04.2013 and police officers who retired before 01.01.2010, as well as by then the principles of legal certainty and legitimate expectations of former military personnel who have acquired the right to a pension. The purpose of the changes proposed in the bill is for officials who have fulfilled their duty to the state ensuring uniform and equal treatment in pension schemes so that it is also consistent with the principle of legitimate expectation. The current situation is unfair and, according to the authors of the bill, also unconstitutional, because among all the persons receiving a reduced pension in Estonia today, only before 01.04.2013. military personnel who have completed their service are the only ones whose pension base level before switching from the recalculation system to indexation is in effect left due to the economic crisis, the reduced salary level.
