Supreme Court dismissed cassation; continuous care excludes concurrent employment for early pension eligibility.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a father seeking an early pension for caring for his disabled daughter. The lower court found that the applicant failed to meet statutory requirements, specifically lacking the necessary health-related inability to continue full-time employment due to the child's condition. The court ruled that while family assistance is morally permissible and does not negate the caregiver's duty, the legal definition of 'continuous care' strictly requires uninterrupted, full-time dedication that precludes concurrent employment.

Nr 28, poz. 149; ustawa z dnia 17 grudnia 1998 r. o emeryturach i rentach z Funduszu Ubezpieczeń Społecznych: The right to an early pension for continuous care of a child requiring constant supervision is established by the continuous, daily, and uninterrupted nature of the care, which inherently excludes the possibility of concurrent employment, regardless of sporadic family assistance.
