Supreme Court dismissed war pension claim as forced labor certification does not equal combatant status.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a war invalid pension claim filed by Irena K. against the Social Insurance Institution. Although the applicant had been certified for financial benefits under a 1996 law for forced laborers, the court ruled this did not establish combatant status required for the 1991 pension law. The court held that the administrative decision confirming forced labor was insufficient to prove the specific facts of combatant status, which must be established through a separate administrative procedure rather than in court.
