In June we informed that the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk had issued a judgment, which could be a real breakthrough. The case afraid a teacher who had retired early in 2006 and more than 10 years later to standard service. Then she started receiving little money than before. The female reported to the Bydgoszcz territory Court and already at that time an adverse judgement was passed for the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS). Finally, the case was dealt with by the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk, which decided to keep the case in the first instance. As a result, the elder is expected to receive a benefit increase of about PLN 770 per period and a compensation of about PLN 30 thousand. Experts have long warned that the victims may be many, and now it turns out that specified a individual is besides a pensioner from Silesia.
RECLAMA
See video 2 large myths about ZUS. "It's called society, not the pyramid of finance."
Under-retirement in court. There's a good verdict for seniors.
The case concerns pensioners born 1949-59 and pensioners born 1949-54 who decided to quit early. Their universal benefits were reduced by amounts paid out of early retirement. This made many seniors inactive receive underpaid benefits. On 4 June 2024, the Constitutional Court issued a judgement favourable to pensioners, declaring this provision unconstitutional. This gives victims a much better chance in court. According to Gazeta Wyborcza, specified a fight was decided among others by Mrs Anna from Silesia. Born 1954, a female in July 2009 retired early. After six years, she applied to ZUS for universal pension. Since the Plant calculated its lower benefit, the elder did not decide to change. She returned to the subject in 2024 erstwhile the Constitutional Court's judgement appeared.
ZUS gave her not adequate money. Now he gets a rise and an extra return.
In 2024, Ms. Anna applied to court. In March 2025, the Bielsko-Biała territory Court decided to recalculate the universal pension of a woman, without considering deductions. ZUS appealed this decision, but the Court of Appeal in Katowice upheld the judgement of the erstwhile instance. It was thus confirmed that universal pensions should not be deducted by pre-paid benefits. Currently, the pensioner is waiting for the execution of the sentence, thanks to which her monthly payment will increase by PLN 281.13. It will besides receive an equalization which may be around PLN 24 thousand.
