Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of Danuta K.'s disability pension claim, ordering a retrial. The lower court incorrectly rejected the appeal without obtaining a necessary expert medical opinion regarding the onset of her cardiac disability. The Supreme Court ruled that determining the exact date the disability arose is crucial for establishing pension eligibility when the worker was no longer employed at the time of application.
