Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a Social Insurance Institution decision denying early retirement benefits. The applicant argued that a medical certificate proved her child required constant care, but the court found the cited illness did not meet statutory requirements without proof of significant physical impairment. The court ruled that revealing a formal error in a final decision serves as a basis for re-establishing the right to benefits to the insured's detriment, thereby upholding the lower court's rejection of the appeal.
