Social Security Court allows student pension claim under old law despite disability occurring after law expired.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the Social Security Institution against a lower court's decision granting a student pension. The applicant, born in 1982, claimed the pension based on a disability declared during his secondary school attendance, even though the specific legal provision governing this right had lost its force in 1999. The court ruled that because the pension application was submitted under the old Act, its terms must be applied regardless of when the disability was medically confirmed.
