AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Wacław D. against a lower court decision denying him a rural disability pension. The applicant argued that receiving a one-time compensation for a work accident in 1982 proved his status as a farmer and entitled him to long-term disability benefits. The court ruled that the one-time payment was insufficient to establish the statutory conditions for a disability pension, which required a specific period of insurance coverage under the rural social insurance law.
