Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured was entitled to a half invalidity pension from 1 April 2006
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The court upheld an invalidity degree of 35%, which does not meet the threshold for a pension.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court deferred to the cantonal findings and accepted the clinic report as more persuasive than the treating physician's unsupported assessment. It held that work incapacity in the previous occupation is not equal to loss of earning capacity, and that the income comparison had been correctly performed using an adapted occupation.
