Medical Opinion Must Assess Functional Capacity, Not Mere Employability | Rule 54(6) CCS Pension Rules - Disability Family Pension : CAT Allahabad
The tribunal ruled that denying disability family pension based on a conclusory medical opinion of employability violates Rule 54(6); authorities must evaluate the claimant's actual functional capacity to earn a livelihood. This safeguards disabled dependents from arbitrary termination of pension benefits.
