Supreme Court dismissed pension claim, ruling separate special work periods cannot be combined for early retirement. Early retirement requires meeting specific age and duration criteria for each work category. The court held that periods in different special work lists cannot be aggregated. The applicant failed to meet the 20-year requirement for the 50-year-old retirement age. The decision clarifies that distinct work categories have independent eligibility thresholds. Combining periods from different lists is not permitted under the regulation. The applicant's claim was rejected due to non-compliance with statutory requirements.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Aleksandra J. against the Social Insurance Office's refusal to grant early retirement. The applicant had worked 15 years in a special category (coal processing) and 5 years in another (galvanizing), arguing these periods could be combined to meet the 20-year threshold for a 50-year-old retirement age. The court ruled that the relevant regulation explicitly prohibits combining periods from different special work lists because each category has distinct eligibility criteria and age requirements. Consequently, the applicant's claim was rejected as she did not satisfy the specific conditions for either work category independently.
