Supreme Court quashes disability pension denial, ruling social benefit periods count as insurance periods.

The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's dismissal of Alicja N.'s disability pension claim, ordering a retrial. The applicant argued that periods receiving a permanent social benefit for childcare should count as insurance periods, which the lower court ignored. The court held that since social insurance premiums were paid during these benefit periods, they legally constitute insurance periods under the relevant pension law.
