Social security court allows re-evaluation of farmer pension rights under old law after new evidence submitted post-act change.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a final denial of a farmer's pension barred a new claim filed under updated legislation. The applicant, Józef B., submitted new evidence of land ownership after the 1990 social security law took effect, arguing for rights established under the 1982 law. The court ruled that such a request constitutes a continuation of the previous proceedings rather than a new application, permitting the pension to be recalculated based on the original legal framework if conditions are met.
