Key legal question
Whether the claimant was entitled to an invalidity pension despite the assessed disability degree
Extracted holding
No pension entitlement was established because the disability degree remained below the threshold for a pension.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court found the MEDAS expertise and the cantonal assessment convincing. The criticisms raised against the work-capacity assessment did not show the findings to be manifestly incorrect, and non-medical factors are to be considered only later through an income-loss deduction.
