Military service in former USSR and Kazakhstan after 1955 is not allied army service for pension purposes.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's claim for a military pension based on service in the former USSR and Kazakhstan. The lower court incorrectly interpreted the 1993 Pension Act to include all service in Warsaw Pact armies from 1939 to 1997. The Supreme Court ruled that the term 'allied army' strictly refers to the World War II era, not the post-1955 Warsaw Pact, and that such service constitutes only a contributory period rather than a basis for pension rights.
