Social security rehabilitation benefit entitlement depends on continuous work disability, not the persistence of the same illness.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of Ewa K.'s appeal regarding her rehabilitation benefit. The court found that the second instance judge incorrectly limited the benefit to a single illness rather than considering continuous work disability caused by one or multiple co-existing conditions. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new decision based on the correct legal interpretation of Article 18 of the Social Security Benefits Act.
