Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned the appellate court's decision limiting the work injury disability assessment to 80% and reducing the lump-sum compensation. The insured argued for a higher percentage based on a prior 90% finding, while the social security institution contended for the lower rate. The court ruled that the statutory definition of a decision 'on disability' includes any ruling that adjudicates the issue, regardless of whether it confirms the injury, thereby invalidating the application of outdated compensation rates.
