Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision granting a rural pension to the applicant. The applicant argued that the required 20 quarters of insurance coverage within the last ten years should be calculated from the date of her new application filed during the appeal process. The court held that the ten-year period must be calculated strictly backward from the original application date and cannot be extended by insurance periods accumulated after the appeal was lodged.
