Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Invalidity Insurance (Industry, etc.) Convention, 1933 (No. 37) - Chile (Ratification: 1935)

Articles 12 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee has taken note of the Government's reply to the communication of 6 March 1990 from the Trade Union of Workers, Engineers, Specialists and Other Personnel of the Compañía Minera El Indio concerning determination of the invalidity pension in the event of a dispute.

In this connection the Committee recalls that it is not competent to express an opinion about the origin of invalidity in individual situations, which is a matter for the national authorities. The Committee has nevertheless noted with interest the Government's statement that it is open to the worker concerned to submit a new application for an invalidity pension to the Pension Fund Administration of which he is currently a member.
