Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the insured's appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected a request to recalculate pension benefits. The insured argued for a 10-year earnings period, but the court found this violated the statutory requirement to use the same number of years as the previous disability pension, which was based on 5 years. Consequently, the court held that the lower court correctly applied the law by refusing to extend the calculation period beyond the original 5-year span.
