Key legal question
Whether the claimant was entitled to an invalidity pension, in particular whether the assessed degree of invalidity was reliable.
Extracted holding
The cantonal assessment was based on an incomplete and arbitrarily appreciated medical record; the degree of work capacity and invalidity could not be determined without a full medical expertise.
Extracted reasoning
The lower court relied mainly on one hand specialist's opinion, which addressed only hand impairments, while other medical reports documented additional disorders affecting work capacity. The court also made unsupported medical findings on back, knee and headache complaints. A global expertise was necessary.
