Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social security court's decision to stop a pensioner's disability benefits. The appellant argued that the appellate court incorrectly concluded she regained work capacity without proper medical evidence. The court ruled that because her original disability stemmed from cardiovascular issues, a specialist cardiologist's opinion was legally required to verify the absence of those specific conditions.
