Supreme Court dismissed cassation, ruling the social security agency is not obligated to inform applicants about other benefits if their request is specific.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a farmer seeking a retroactive pension from 1987. The applicant argued that the social security agency should have granted a more favorable pension upon reaching retirement age, but the court found the agency's decision correct because the applicant's specific 1986 request for disability pension precluded the agency from investigating eligibility for a different benefit. The court held that the agency is not required to educate applicants about other potential benefits when the submitted application clearly defines the specific entitlement sought.
