The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Andrzej S. against a social insurance office's refusal of a disability pension. The applicant argued that a sanitary inspector's decision confirming an occupational disease should be binding evidence and equivalent to a right to benefits. The court held that such a decision is merely administrative proof of the disease's existence, not a determination of work-related disability, and thus does not automatically trigger pension entitlements under the relevant social insurance law.
