Key legal question
Whether the insured’s somatoform pain disorder and associated depression constitute an invalidating health impairment entitling her to a disability pension.
Extracted holding
No; the court found the disorder was still overcomeable by reasonable effort and did not reach the threshold of invalidity.
Extracted reasoning
The court accepted the medical diagnoses but held that the legal criteria for an exceptional non-overcomeable pain disorder were not sufficiently met: no severe, durable psychiatric comorbidity and the remaining criteria were not present with enough intensity and constancy.
