Receiving a special disability pension does not satisfy the six-month employment requirement for early retirement.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an insured person seeking early retirement. The lower court granted the pension because the applicant received a special disability pension, but the Supreme Court ruled this benefit differs fundamentally from a standard disability pension. The court held that receiving a special pension does not equate to meeting the statutory requirement of six months of employment in the preceding 24 months.
