Supreme Court ruled pension eligibility depends on work-related disability worsening during employment periods.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the Social Insurance Institution's cassation appeal against a lower court's pension award. The applicant, who received a student pension before turning 20, later suffered a significant health deterioration while employed. The court held that for a work-related pension, the disability must have originated or worsened during employment periods covered by the relevant insurance law. Consequently, the lower court correctly focused on the 2002 health worsening rather than the 1992 student disability.
