Do not throw this document. May increase your pension

For many Poles, an old, green ID card or health book is just relics of the past, kept in drawers as souvenirs. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/ad4d41/620x0/1/0/2024/05/19/rhbsp2abqn2i95vtpt30ttnc7gcdJebkKznqd3x9.jpg" alt = "Passport of the Polish People's Republic, screen youtube @zapachopium" styles = "background-color: rgba (24,24,24,1)" > < p > It turns out, however, that they may have real financial value & ndash; detail for senior & oacute; in which in the past fell victim to system injustice and received underestimated pensions.

< p > many senior & oacute; in which they worked years ago, they do not realize that their pension could be higher if they were able to prove his work. Unfortunately, in many cases, documentation confirming employment has been lost, often as a result of the liquidation of the & oacute; at work. The lack of such a document & Oacute; in the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) had no grounds to take into account the full professional internship when calculating the benefit.

< P >Now it turns out that there is a way “oacute; b to prove the period & oacute; in employment & ndash; Even if the workplace no longer exists and the official documents were lost. As the ZUS spokesperson explains, Wojciech Andrusiewicz, in such situations the institution allows the so -called indirect evidence. < p > & ndash; If there is no work documentation, there is indirect evidence, such as entries in old ID card, health book or other work documents, confirming promotions and remuneration & ndash; translators Andrusiewicz. < p > If seniors do not have health books or an old ID card, they can prove their employment by testimonies of the witness. In this case, ZUS may accept the minimum wage in force in a given period. However, it is worth knowing that the court has wider permissions & ndash; may take into account the testimony of the witness & oacute; in the actual salary.

< p > & ndash; We, as a plant, can only recognize the period of work, but not earnings. The court, however, may accept the testimony of the witness' oacute; regarding the remuneration achieved. This can only be done by a court, not ZUS & Amp; Ndash; explains Andrusiewicz.

< p > people who suspect that their pension has been underestimated due to lack of documentation should contact ZUS as soon as possible and see if they can provide indirect evidence. If the institution rejects their application, it is worth considering the court in which & oacute; Rej can take advantage of the testimony of the witness & oacute; v.

< p > thanks to this procedure, many senior & oacute; in can regain their benefits and improve their financial situation. So let's look for old document & oacute; w & ndash; They may prove to be the key to a higher pension.
