Supreme Court denied pension rights because farm work before social insurance did not count for disability pension. The court ruled that only paid insurance periods qualify for disability benefits. This decision clarifies the distinction between pension and disability pension eligibility rules. The applicant failed to meet the 25-year requirement without the excluded farm work periods.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the applicant's appeal against a lower court ruling that granted a disability pension. The applicant argued that his pre-insurance farm work should count toward the required 25-year period for disability benefits. The court held that Article 10 of the Social Insurance Act explicitly excludes farm work periods before social insurance coverage when calculating eligibility for disability pensions, unlike emigration pensions. Consequently, the applicant failed to meet the statutory requirements and the lower court's decision was overturned.
