The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision to dismiss the applicant's appeal against a social security disability pension denial. The applicant argued that the lower courts improperly ignored late medical evidence regarding her neurotic symptoms, which she could not present earlier due to her cognitive limitations and lack of legal representation. The court held that the appellate court must consider the reasons for the delay and cannot dismiss evidence if the delay was justified by the case's progression, thereby remanding the case for a new ruling on the evidence.
