Supreme Court dismissed pension claim, ruling ZUS guidelines do not create legal presumption of causation between deportation and illness.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Hieronim M. against a Social Insurance Institution decision denying him a disability pension due to deportation-related illness. The applicant argued that ZUS guidelines should establish a legal presumption linking his 1939-1956 deportation to his current heart condition, but the court found no such legal presumption exists. The court held that ZUS guidelines are merely administrative instructions for doctors and cannot override the statutory requirement for individual medical certainty regarding causation.
