Supreme Court allows new pension claim after previous dismissal if filed under different legal provisions.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that granted a disability pension to the insured. The insured had previously been denied benefits because the court found his disability did not arise during the insured period, but he re-applied years later. The court held that since the new application was submitted under amended statutory provisions with different eligibility criteria, the prior decision did not constitute a legal bar to the new claim.
