The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Irena N. against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a higher nursing allowance. The applicant argued for a pension supplement based on total disability, while the institution contended that the disability must be causally linked to her time in a concentration camp to qualify. The court ruled that acquiring the right to the increased supplement strictly requires proving a causal connection between the total inability to work and the specific period of confinement under the relevant laws.
