Supreme Court dismissed appeal; disability pension requires causal link between deportation and illness.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Janina P. against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a disability pension. The applicant argued that her severe disabilities were caused by her deportation to the former USSR, but the courts found her conditions resulted from natural diseases unrelated to her imprisonment. The court ruled that receiving a pension for repression victims requires proving a causal medical link between the detention and the specific injuries or illnesses, which was not established in this case.
