Supreme Court held negative foreign disability assessments are not binding under social security treaty.

The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision regarding a Polish pension claim based on a negative medical assessment from Hungary. The applicant argued that the foreign medical finding was binding under the 1959 social cooperation treaty, while the lower court incorrectly applied this rule to a negative diagnosis. The court ruled that the treaty only binds positive findings establishing disability, leaving Polish authorities free to evaluate the applicant's condition independently.
