The Supreme Court reinstated the appeal filed by an insured woman against a social insurance office decision. The insured argued she missed the deadline due to illness preventing her from understanding procedural instructions, while the lower court rejected the appeal as late. The court held that the insured's health condition reasonably explained her failure to understand the instructions and that the one-day delay was not attributable to her fault.
