Social pension right acquired before October 2003 expires only for the period of the disability assessment certificate.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Marzena B. against the Social Insurance Institution's decision to terminate her social pension. The court found that while the applicant had acquired a right to the pension before October 1, 2003, this right is valid only for the specific duration of the disability assessment certificate issued prior to that date. Consequently, the pension ceased upon the expiration of that certificate in December 2003, as the applicant did not meet the new criteria for indefinite extension under the updated law.
