AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a worker seeking an increased disability pension due to new health issues following a workplace accident. The lower courts found the claim for increased needs inadmissible because the new condition did not negatively impact the plaintiff's living situation, despite causing total work incapacity. The court held that proving increased needs is a distinct requirement separate from proving health damage, and the original claim for lost earning capacity had already expired.
