Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured person's drug dependence, together with psychiatric comorbidity, constituted invalidating health impairment under disability insurance law.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The court held that addiction is not disabling in itself, but can be disabling when it is caused or accompanied by a serious psychiatric disorder that independently reduces work capacity and contributes substantially to the dependence.
Extrahierte Begründung
The judicial expert found ADHD, anxious and dependent personality traits, recurrent depression, and opioid/cocaine dependence, with severe neuropsychiatric sequelae and total incapacity to work. The appellate court could rely on this expert opinion and reject the opposing psychiatric report.
