The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a pension reduction caused by a subsequent declaration of unconstitutionality. The applicant argued that her previously acquired right to a higher pension indicator could not be retroactively reduced. The court held that while the right was not acquired in the past, the social security agency is empowered to re-evaluate the benefit entitlement and issue a new decision on the merits when a governing law is voided.
