Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court decision that denied a veteran a specific pension supplement. The lower court incorrectly relied solely on the 1975 work injury benefits law, which did not list the veteran's supplement, while ignoring the 1991 revaluation law. The Supreme Court held that the 1991 law explicitly carves out exceptions for veteran and secret teacher supplements, thereby mandating their inclusion in work injury pensions.
