印度最高法庭规定, 军人不能因健康议题而被剥夺退休金, 健康议题标签是「生活方式失调」, India's top court rules military personnel can't be denied pensions for health issues labeled 'lifestyle disorders,' ordering a lifelong pension with back pay.

德里高等法院裁定,印度武装部队人员不能仅仅因为他们的状况被贴上“生活方式混乱”的标签而拒绝领取残疾养恤金。 德里高等法院指出,兵役,即使是非战斗性服役,也涉及压力因素,如长时间、频繁调职和与家人分离等,从而可能导致严重的健康问题。 The Delhi High Court ruled that Indian armed forces personnel cannot be denied disability pensions solely because their condition is labeled a "lifestyle disorder," stating that military service, even in non-combat roles, involves stressors like long hours, frequent transfers, and separation from family that can contribute to serious health issues. 法院推翻了先前驳回一名退休空军军官因高血压和心脏病领取50%养恤金的决定,批评医务委员会缺乏适当理由,不当将疾病归咎于没有证据的生活方式因素。 The court overturned a prior decision denying a retired Air Force officer a 50% pension for hypertension and heart disease, criticizing the Medical Board for lacking proper reasoning and improperly attributing illness to lifestyle factors without evidence. 它驳回了将这一条件与仅仅14天的值勤时间挂钩的要求,并下令在8周内支付拖欠的终身养恤金,或面临12%的年度利息。 It rejected claims linking the condition to just 14 days of duty and ordered a lifelong pension with arrears paid within eight weeks, or face 12% annual interest.
