Key legal question
Whether the disabling work incapacity began during the BVG coverage period so as to trigger invalidity benefits
Extracted holding
No. The decisive work incapacity arose before the insured relationship with the pension fund began and continued thereafter.
Extracted reasoning
Medical records and the pattern of employment showed a pre-existing significant psychological impairment. The later job was treated as a self-integration attempt and did not interrupt the causal and temporal link required by BVG.
