Pension is an important component of social security for the elderly.

In this article, we will consider how to proceed in the event that a pension recalculation or removal of the maximum pension limit is required, and what role the courts play in this process.
Basic concepts
Recalculation of pensions
Recalculation of pensions means changing the size of the pension taking into account new data or changes in legislation. It can be carried out both at the initiative of the pensioner and automatically in accordance with legal regulations.
Pension restrictions
Limitation of the pension provides for the establishment of an upper limit of the size of the pension that a pensioner can receive. This can be caused by various factors, such as legislative changes or other regulatory acts.
Maximum pension limit
The maximum pension limit sets a specific limit on the amount a pensioner can receive each month. This restriction is often the subject of lawsuits because retirees believe it is unfair or illegal.
