Supreme Court allows war veteran's medical benefits claim despite denial of disability pension status.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the lower court's dismissal of Władysław R.'s request for a war veteran's booklet. The Social Insurance Institution denied benefits because the applicant did not meet the strict criteria for a disability pension, despite a military commission confirming his war-related injuries. The Court ruled that the Social Insurance Institution must independently verify eligibility for free medication under public health laws when a disability pension is denied, applying administrative procedure codes to fill the statutory gap.
