Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance office's decision to suspend a disability pension. The lower courts found the applicant capable of his former job but maintained the pension based on the 1997 law definition of disability. The court rejected the argument that the ability to work alone justified suspension, holding that medical evidence of a disability change is required under the relevant social security statute.
