Supreme Court dismisses appeal; postgraduate studies do not count as final year of higher education under social security law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal regarding the denial of a family pension based on age limits. The appellant argued that postgraduate studies should count as the final year of higher education, allowing pension extension until age 25. The court ruled that statutory definitions distinguish between higher and postgraduate studies, meaning the exception for the final year of higher education does not apply to postgraduate programs.
