Question juridique clé
Whether the half disability pension should start on 1 May 1997 instead of 1 November 1999
Solution extraite
No. The claimant did not show an obviously incorrect factual finding; with an invalidity degree of 31% or 30%, no pension was due before 1 November 1999.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court accepted the lower court's reliance on the BEFAS report and found no arbitrary weighing of evidence or omission of relevant medical records.
