Key legal question
Whether the reduction of the full disability pension from 1 December 2000 to a half pension and from 1 December 2002 to a quarter pension was justified by improved health and earning capacity.
Extracted holding
Yes. The medical evidence credibly showed an increase in adapted work capacity from 0% to 50% and then to 70%, which supported the revised disability degrees.
Extracted reasoning
The court accepted the Spital X. report and the MEDAS expertise as probative, rejected the attacks on their reliability, and found no relevant contradiction in the treating doctors' reports or in the assessment of the psychiatric component.
