Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court could reject the request for a rhumato-psychiatric expert report and decide on the file as it stood.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. In light of the new medical opinion and unresolved questions about the impact of somatic limitations, the refusal to order the requested expert report exceeded the court's discretion and violated the right to be heard.
Extrahierte Begründung
The medical file did not allow a reliable assessment of the work capacity consequences of the somatic impairments. The SMR assessment did not convincingly address the functional limitations, while the later report by Dr. U. introduced new objective findings and supported further combined assessment.
