Sibling pension denied as adult siblings sharing costs do not meet statutory family support requirements.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a sister seeking a family pension after her brother's death. Although they lived together and shared expenses, the court found that adult siblings do not automatically qualify for this benefit regardless of their cohabitation or financial support. The decision relied on the statutory requirement that family members must be adopted or legally placed under the deceased's care to establish the necessary legal bond.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 38 ust. 1 pkt 2; Art. 40 ustawy o z.e.p.: Adult siblings sharing living expenses and costs do not constitute a legal family relationship sufficient to grant a family pension upon the death of one sibling.
