Supreme Court allows pension claim by recognizing foreign work periods as special conditions work.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling granting early retirement to a worker. The applicant had worked in Havana, Cuba, and the Social Insurance Institution initially denied his claim due to a lack of fifteen years of work under special conditions. The Court ruled that periods of work abroad for listed positions, recognized as contributory periods, must be included regardless of the employer's location. Consequently, the Court held that the regulation applies to foreign employers and allowed the pension claim.
