Supreme Court allows disability pension claim by ruling pension law does not apply to occupational disease cases.

The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's dismissal of a disability pension claim filed by Wanda K. against the Social Insurance Fund. The lower court incorrectly applied Article 32 of the Pensions Act, requiring the disability to arise within 18 months of employment cessation, whereas the claimant's occupational disease occurred years later. The Supreme Court held that the specific Occupational Diseases Act fully regulates such pensions without the limitations found in the general Pensions Act, thereby allowing the claim to be reconsidered.
