Key legal question
Whether the appeal should be upheld because a rent-relevant deterioration of the psychiatric condition since 2003 was proven
Extracted holding
No. The medical record did not show any material worsening compared with the 2003 expert assessment; the incapacity remained essentially unchanged.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court deferred to the cantonal findings, which were not manifestly inaccurate. The 2008 psychiatric report differed diagnostically but did not establish a relevant deterioration. Statements about the need for long-term therapy did not alter the objectively assessed question of whether the condition was in principle surmountable.
