The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Wanda H. against the Social Security Institution's denial of a war veteran's disability pension. The applicant argued that the Social Security Director's 1994 order regarding disability assessment constituted material law, while the lower courts rejected her claim due to lack of medical documentation linking her 1944 camp stay to her current condition. The court held that the Director's order was an internal administrative regulation lacking statutory basis and could not serve as material law, thereby upholding the lower courts' decision based on the absence of proven causal links between the camp experience and her illness.
