The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the appellate court's dismissal of Eugeniusz G.'s disability pension appeal, remanding the case for a new decision. The applicant argued that his 1991 pension application should utilize earnings from 1973-1975 under transitional regulations, which the lower courts incorrectly rejected based on the 1991 revaluation law. The court ruled that transitional provisions allowing the selection of earlier high-earning periods remained valid for applications submitted before December 31, 1992, thereby establishing the correct legal basis for the pension calculation.
