Supreme Court allows full disability pension and judge's allowance to be paid independently without offsetting each other.

The Supreme Court of Poland reversed the lower court's decision to offset a judge's pension with a disability pension, ruling they must be paid in full. The applicant argued that the judge's allowance was a salary rather than a pension, while the Social Insurance Institution claimed the law required partial payment for concurrent benefits. The court held that since the judge's allowance was not a social insurance benefit, the statutory rule for offsetting pensions did not apply, mandating full payment for both.
