      Form of order sought by the appellant
   
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               annul the contested order.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   The present appeal is brought against the order of the Civil Service Tribunal of 14 July 2015 (Case F-109/14), which dismissed as manifestly unfounded an action seeking an order that the Commission pay the appellant, in respect of the survivor’s pension which she receives, 35 % of the retirement pension received by her former spouse at the time of his death.
   In support of her claims, the appellant submits that the Civil Service Tribunal did not examine her request to increase the pension in accordance with Article 25 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Treaty of Lisbon, which recognise and respect the right of the elderly to lead a life of dignity and independence and to participate in social and cultural life.
