Family pension denied to 17-year-old student who became disabled only at age 40, failing statutory disability timing requirements.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a family pension. The court found that the applicant, a 17-year-old student, did not meet the statutory requirement of being a second-group disabled person before completing school in 1970, as his disability was only confirmed in 1992. Consequently, the lower courts correctly applied the law, and the cassation was rejected for lack of procedural or substantive errors.
