Supreme Court allows pension claim by rejecting Social Security Office's argument that applicant failed to prove disability duration.

The Supreme Court allowed the pensioner's appeal against the Social Security Office's refusal of an old-age pension. The applicant argued that his disability duration met statutory requirements, while the Social Security Office contended he failed to provide sufficient evidence of the disability's continuity. The court ruled in favor of the applicant, establishing that the burden of proof regarding disability duration lies with the applicant but can be satisfied by consistent medical records.
