Partial disability does not automatically imply illness; courts must assess impact on job qualifications per Social Security Act.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social security office's refusal of a partial disability pension. The applicant argued that her medical condition prevented work, while the lower courts found her illnesses did not impair her ability to perform her qualified job. The court ruled that mere existence of illness is insufficient; the critical factor is whether the condition affects work capacity according to her qualifications.
