Supreme Court dismissed cassation appeal regarding pension eligibility and non-contributory care periods calculation order.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the Social Insurance Institution against a lower court's pension award. The applicant had accumulated five years of contributory and non-contributory periods, including care time for a child under four, within the required ten-year window. The court rejected the institution's argument that care periods must be prioritized or limited by birth order, ruling that the statute does not dictate the sequence of counting these periods. Consequently, the decision to grant the pension based on the total duration of eligible care time was upheld.
