Supreme Court allows partial disability pension when worker loses significant capacity in qualified job but retains simple work ability.

The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's dismissal of a work accident disability pension claim by Sylwester N. The court found that while the applicant retained the ability to perform unskilled tasks like packing, he had significantly lost capacity in his qualified trade as an electrician or welder. Consequently, the court ruled that the applicant qualifies for a partial disability pension under the relevant social insurance statute rather than being deemed fully capable of work.
