Key legal question
Whether the insured remained entitled to an invalidity pension from 1 September 2009 onward
Extracted holding
No. The medical evidence established full capacity in adapted light sedentary work, so the pension was not owed beyond 31 August 2009.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court found the expert report of the medical assessment institute fully persuasive and rejected the treating doctors' contrary assessments as insufficiently reasoned or largely based on subjective complaints. The alleged post-traumatic stress disorder was not supported, and no further medical investigations were necessary.
