Polish Supreme Court dismissed war disability claim appeal, ruling causal link is a factual issue, not a legal error.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a veteran seeking war disability benefits. The applicant argued that the court failed to recognize a causal link between his 1952 psychiatric diagnosis and his current disability, claiming this constituted a material law violation. The court determined that establishing a causal relationship between military service and disability is a matter of factual ascertainment, not a question of legal interpretation, and thus cannot serve as a ground for cassation under Article 393(1)(1) of the Civil Procedure Code. Consequently, the court found no error in the lower court's assessment of evidence and medical opinions, which explicitly excluded the 1952 condition as a cause of the current disability.
