Whether the SMR medical report of 2 November 2009 was an appealable decision under social insurance law.
No. The report was only a medical opinion and did not determine rights or obligations; the competent AI office had not issued a decision.
Under Art. 3 LPA-VD and Art. 56 LPGA, only a decision or a failure to decide is appealable. The SMR report was not issued by the competent authority and merely formed one element for the future disability decision.
