The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Daniel S. against the Social Insurance Office's refusal of a war veteran's disability pension. The court found that the medical commission correctly determined no causal link existed between the applicant's 1946-1956 prison stay and his current disability, rejecting the claim that military commissions should have assessed the condition. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's decision that the medical commission, not the military, is the sole authority for establishing such connections under the relevant laws.
