The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision ordering the return of social benefits and remanded the case for reconsideration. The applicant argued for a general statute of limitations, while the Social Insurance Institution contended for a strict 12-month recovery limit based on Article 84 of the Social Insurance Act. The Court ruled that the statutory time limit restricts the scope of the recovery claim to the last 12 months of benefits, but does not establish a statute of limitations for the institution to initiate proceedings.
