When defining the right for the old-age labour pension, including the early one, the length of work includes all periods of work and other publicly useful activities included in the total and special length of work when the pension was assigned in compliance with the legislation that was in effect when this work (activities) was fulfilled while applying the rules of calculation of the appropriate length of work envisaged in the mentioned legislation (including the beneficial procedure of calculation of the length of work).
The given procedure applies also if the citizen, regardless of his age before the day of abrogation of the appropriate law or other normative legal act, has competed the necessary total and/or special length of work entitling for the old-age or length-of-work pension.
