Family pension denied to relatives of employee receiving special exception pension under Social Insurance Act.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the family member's appeal for a family pension after the deceased mother received a special exception pension. The court held that receiving a special exception pension does not establish a statutory right to a regular pension or family pension. Consequently, the special nature of the benefit precludes family members from claiming dependent benefits under the relevant Social Insurance Act provisions.
