Supreme Court dismissed cassation; inability to do current job is insufficient if another job in same profession is possible.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance office's decision denying disability pension to a biology teacher. The applicant argued that her inability to work with animals rendered her partially disabled, but the court found that she could still perform other teaching duties without retraining. The court ruled that partial disability requires not just an inability to do the current job, but also a lack of prospects for retraining or performing alternative work within the same profession.
