Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Karol C. against a social insurance office decision ordering the return of improperly received sickness benefits and rehabilitation payments. The insured had been granted a police disability pension for Group III while simultaneously receiving sickness benefits after his employment ended. The court held that receiving a disability pension does not preclude the right to sickness benefits or rehabilitation allowances once the specific insurance title for those benefits ceases. Furthermore, the court found the cassation complaint regarding the return of benefits was procedurally defective as it failed to properly cite and justify the specific legal provisions violated.
