The Supreme Court dismissed Janina K.'s cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal to grant her a war veteran's disability pension. The court found that her 1946 injury occurred during a convoy while she was forcibly deported to Kazakhstan, a circumstance not covered by the relevant statutes for combatant or war veteran status. Consequently, the lower courts correctly applied the laws in force at the time of her application, rejecting her argument that newer transitional provisions should retroactively alter the outcome.
