AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Mark Ł. against the Social Insurance Institution regarding his family pension claim. The court held that periods of social security insurance for farmers, for which contributions were paid, must be considered when verifying the conditions for a family pension. This ruling clarifies that such periods can supplement the required contribution history even when the deceased was partially disabled, provided the law treats them as fully disabled for pension purposes.
