Disability Benefits Conditioned on Mandatory Psychiatric Treatment

The case concerns a challenge to a decision by the social insurance office regarding disability insurance benefits, specifically focusing on the imposition of a mandatory psychiatric-psychotherapeutic treatment as a condition for receiving benefits. The appellant contested the requirement for treatment, arguing that they were not obliged to undergo such therapy. The court ultimately affirmed the decision, reasoning that the imposition of a necessary and reasonable treatment measure, such as psychiatric-psychotherapy, falls within the authority of the insurance institution to impose rehabilitative measures, provided such treatment is deemed medically appropriate and reasonably expected to restore the individual's earning capacity, thereby justifying the linkage between continued benefits and compliance with the prescribed therapy.
