Polish Supreme Court dismissed pension claim as Belgian public servant work does not count under social security convention.

The Polish Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a Polish citizen seeking a pension based on his employment in Belgium. The applicant argued that his tenure as a salaried academic employee funded by the Belgian state should count toward his Polish social security record. The court ruled that because he was covered by a special Belgian public servant pension system rather than the general Belgian social legislation, the bilateral social security convention did not apply to his employment period. Consequently, the court held that the disputed years could not be credited to his Polish pension eligibility.
