Key legal question
Whether the insured person's residual work capacity had improved sufficiently to end the invalidity pension as of March 2010.
Extracted holding
The Federal Supreme Court upheld the cantonal court's assessment that the insured remained 50% incapacitated for work and was still entitled to a half pension after February 2010.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the cantonal court was entitled, under free evaluation of evidence, to prefer the treating physician's assessment over the administrative expert's view. That assessment was not manifestly incorrect or arbitrary, and the discrepancy in medical opinions did not justify overturning the factual findings.
