Supreme Court dismissed cassation, ruling disability degree must be considered when assessing work incapacity under social security law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Jadwiga K. against the Social Insurance Institution's denial of her work incapacity pension. The lower court relied on expert opinions stating the applicant remained capable of work despite her unchanged medical condition, while the Social Insurance Institution had previously granted her a disability pension. The Supreme Court rejected the claim that these expert opinions were contradictory, finding them logically consistent and sufficient to overturn the previous partial disability classification.
