AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland granted Tadeusz D. a police disability pension of the third group without connection to service, overturning a lower court's dismissal. The applicant argued that the specific criteria for police officers' pensions should apply rather than general employee standards. The court ruled that the expert opinion confirming the applicant's inability to serve in the police force while retaining partial work capacity satisfied the statutory requirements for this specific pension category.
