Supreme Court allows pensioner's claim to use higher disability pension base for pension calculation.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned lower court rulings that had granted a pension based on the minimum wage instead of the claimant's requested higher earnings. The claimant, Helena L., explicitly requested that her pension be calculated using the base from her initial disability pension decision rather than the statutory minimum wage. The court ruled that when multiple bases exist, the claimant's request dictates the outcome, provided the principle of favoring the entitled person is applied to grant the higher benefit.
