🔍 When and why a court decision can help

Alena has an autoimmune disorder that causes fatigue, joint pain, and memory issues. Her doctor’s reports clearly confirmed this. But the social security doctor claimed she could still do light office work.

Despite not working for five years and despite multiple medical opinions, ČSSZ upheld the rejection. So we went to court.

We submitted:

• updated medical records,

• a specialist’s letter,

• Alena’s personal description of her daily struggles,

• evidence of failed job attempts.

The court requested a new assessment—this time by the Ministry’s independent medical board. They confirmed Alena qualified for disability level II.

The court overturned the ČSSZ decision. The pension was approved retroactively.

⚠️ Why do these errors happen?

• Medical evaluations from OSSZ are often vague.

• Mental and neurological issues are commonly underestimated.

• Chronic illness is not always properly assessed.

The state isn’t trying to harm you—but the system does fail sometimes. That’s when court intervention matters most.

✅ Lawyer’s insight

“In my experience, administrative complaints are worth it. They’re not just red tape—they give you a real chance to be heard. If you know you’re ill and have been unfairly denied, don’t give up. I help clients like this regularly—and when we act in time, they win.”
