Courts decisions all for retirees return retroactively several thousand euros. They come from the abolition of Gifts in pensions as well as from the reductions imposed on the sum of pensions over 1,000 euros. The Administrative Courts are now beginning to issue positive decisions on individual appeals, justifying those who had claimed these cuts.

The first of a series of such court decisions was issued by the Single Member Administrative Court of First Instance of Thessaloniki. It is decision number 3037/2018 of the Single Member Court of First Instance of Thessaloniki. The decision justified a retiree by returning Gifts and reductions of 11,184.57 euros, which were deemed unconstitutionally. This amount, together with the interest, corresponds to the return of Christmas, Easter and holiday allowances for 3.5 years. They also concern cuts in main and auxiliary pensions. Finally, they are related to the retroactive return of the reduction imposed on the sum of main and auxiliary pensions over 1,000 euros.

Complaints filed en masse by retirees concern retroactive amounts from main and auxiliary pensions. They are related to the reductions that EFKA and ETEAEP continue to impose, although there is a decision asking the Funds to return what they kept from 2013 to 2015. The Council of State ruled that the cuts in pensions imposed were unconstitutional. with the memorandum laws 4093 and 4051 of 2012.

Our office, having many years of experience in pension law, fully undertakes the process of returning these unconstitutional cuts.
