Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling granting a disability pension to the applicant. The Social Insurance Institution had refused the benefit due to a lack of five years of employment in the last decade, but the appellate court found the applicant met the statutory conditions. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, ruling that the five-year employment requirement does not apply when a woman has a total contribution and non-contribution period of at least 20 years.
