Supreme Court dismissed appeal; medical commission link to service does not equal disability status.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal regarding a denied military service disability pension. The appellant argued that a regional military medical commission's finding of a service-related injury warranted a disability assessment, but the court clarified that only the specialized disability commission determines disability status. The court found no procedural error because the appellant's current degenerative spine conditions were unrelated to his 1959 military injury and did not worsen, rendering the request for a new assessment by the regional commission baseless.
