Response from the competent authority: The Institute is aware that the existing procedures
  for claiming pension and invalidity insurance benefits, as laid down in the ZPIZ-1
  or other laws, may in individual cases constitute an administrative obstacle for
  the beneficiary.   The Institute also draws the attention of the applicant to the
  more frequent cases when legislation is amended.  In practice, the Institute is
  looking for ways to minimise the impact of such obstacles in time for the relevant
  legislative changes.The formal obstacles to the exercise of disability insurance
  rights referred to in the petition have been identified by the Institute and brought
  to the attention of the petitioner.  They would be largely eliminated by the amendment
  of Article 253(1) ZPIZ-1. The corresponding amendments were also effectively implemented
  in Article 172 of the Law on Social Insurance and Social Income Protection. However,
  since the new law will not apply for known reasons, the Institute will continue
  to use the hitherto established practice of legal aid in claiming disability insurance
  benefits, in the event that the insured person resides outside the area of the territorial
  unit where he/she is insured, i.e. in the event that he/she is insured, where the
  insured person was last insured, the examination and expert opinion and any other
  relevant evidence available to the insured person shall be provided by the regional
  unit of the institution in whose area he or she resides and the documentation collected
  shall then be forwarded to the competent regional unit which shall decide on his
  or her rights. In this way, the administrative obstacles mentioned in the initiative
  are to a large extent alleviated, but they can be fully eliminated by a less binding
  legal regulation of the competence to decide on compulsory insurance rights.
