Supreme Court grants disability pension when rehabilitation benefit denial reveals initial pension denial error.

The Supreme Court of Poland granted the appellant's cassation appeal, overturning a lower court decision that had awarded a disability pension. The appellant initially requested a disability pension but received only a temporary rehabilitation benefit before the agency denied its extension due to regained work capacity. The court determined that the initial denial of the pension was an administrative error because the entire procedure stemmed from the original pension request. Consequently, the court ordered the agency to grant the disability pension retroactively without requiring a new application.
