Summary/Abstract: The author of this draft position points to the conformity of Article 12 para. 1 of the Act of 7 December 2012 amending the Act on Family Benefits and Certain Other Acts (Dziennik Ustaw, item 1548) with the principle of confidence in the state and its laws and the principle of acquired rights, derived from Article 2, Article 32 para. 1 and Article 71 para. 1 of the Constitution. There are no sufficient grounds to rebut the presumption of constitutionality of the above‑mentioned provision insofar as the grant of a supplement to the carer’s allowance to persons entitled to that allowance pursuant to the provisions in force until 31 December 2012 is dependent on the fact that disability of the person requiring care occurred no later than he/she has attained 18 years of age or during education in school or college, but no later than by attainment of 25 years of age. The proceedings in relation to the remainder should be discontinued due to the inadmissibility of the judgment.
