Military disability pension denied for substitute service during wartime due to lack of active duty status.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal against a social insurance office decision denying a military disability pension. The applicant, who suffered an injury during wartime while performing substitute military service, argued that the injury occurred during military service. The court held that the statutory definition of military disability requires active military service, which the applicant did not perform, and that the procedural record was insufficient to clarify his specific status regarding the obligation to serve.
