Postal power of attorney for receiving pension does not grant standing to file a social security benefit claim.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the wife's cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal to pay her husband's pension to her. Although the husband authorized her to receive the pension via a postal power of attorney, the court ruled this document only covered physical receipt, not legal representation before social security organs. Consequently, the wife lacked the standing to file a claim for the reinstatement of the pension payment.
