Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a quarter disability pension could be granted on a new application despite a final prior refusal, absent a material change in circumstances.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Without any relevant change in health or other circumstances after the final refusal, a quarter pension could not be awarded by analogy to Art. 17 LPGA.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court was bound by its own finding that the insured's health had not changed since the final refusal. In such a situation, the conditions for a new pension entitlement are not met.
