The 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.
