Key legal question
Whether the claimant had an invalidity entitling her to an IV pension despite somatoform pain disorder and depressive episode
Extracted holding
No invalidating health impairment was shown; the denial of a pension was upheld.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the depressive episode was not sufficiently severe, enduring, or independent to establish a relevant psychiatric comorbidity, and the remaining criteria for an invalidating somatoform pain disorder were not met with the required intensity and constancy.
