AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Elwira D. against the Social Insurance Institution regarding her family pension. The court determined that the applicant reached age 25 before completing her final semester of part-time management studies, thereby failing the statutory requirement to extend pension payments. Consequently, the court ruled that the pension ceased upon turning 25, regardless of the academic year's duration or the applicant's ongoing studies.
