Key legal question
Whether the insured person's condition had materially worsened since the final 2009 denial, justifying a disability pension on the new application.
Extracted holding
The functional limitations had become incompatible with any gainful activity after the initial refusal, so a full disability pension from 1 February 2011 was justified.
Extracted reasoning
The federal court accepted that the medical evidence showed a progressive deterioration, especially worsening dexterity, ataxia and pulmonary/neurological limitations, making previously suitable jobs no longer reasonably exigible.
