Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Bożena M.'s cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's denial of her teacher pension. The court found that while she worked as a psychologist in a family diagnostic and consulting center for over 20 years, this role did not constitute special education under the Teacher's Card Act. Consequently, she failed to meet the statutory requirements for a teacher's pension, including the necessary duration of work in special education. The court ruled that such centers focus on diagnosis and care rather than formal schooling, thus excluding her from the specific pension category.
