Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured remained entitled to KVG daily allowances after 2003-12-16 despite being fit for light adapted work.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Once a stable health situation showed that return to the former job was no longer realistic and the insured was fully capable of light work, work incapacity had to be assessed by an income comparison in the broader labor market; after the adaptation period, the resulting loss no longer justified benefits.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 6 ATSG allows consideration of other suitable work for long-duration incapacity. The insurer gave a three-month transition period, which was reasonable given the insured's age, work history, and the range of suitable light jobs. His unsuccessful job search was attributable to non-medical employability problems covered by unemployment insurance, not by sick pay.
