Supreme Court allows pension when family pension overlaps with war invalidity pension rights.

The Supreme Court of Poland allowed the appellant's appeal, overturning the lower court's dismissal of her pension claim. The appellant argued that the Social Security Act's general rule for overlapping benefits should apply to her case, where she received a family pension after her husband's death while simultaneously qualifying for a war invalidity pension. The court rejected the lower court's reliance on a specific exclusion clause, ruling that because the appellant did not hold a direct war invalidity pension herself, the general principle of choosing the higher benefit under the Social Security Act governed the situation.
