Supreme Court allows widow's claim for veteran rights despite deceased husband's disqualification. Widow must prove new circumstances to override prior deprivation.

The Supreme Court of Poland allowed the widow's appeal against the administrative decision denying her veteran status. The deceased husband had previously been stripped of his rights due to his service in military intelligence, but the widow argued for a derivative right based on his resistance activities. The court ruled that while the widow can claim derivative rights, she must provide new evidence proving circumstances that justify changing the husband's prior deprivation decision.
