Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant was entitled to an invalidity pension under the mixed method of assessment
Solution extraite
The mixed-method assessment yielded a weighted invalidity degree of 40%, which in principle entitles the claimant to a quarter pension, and possibly a half hardship pension until January 2004.
Motifs extraits
The lower court underestimated household impairment, especially childcare. With the husband's unemployment, the claimant needed substantial third-party or spousal help; the household impairment was 29.5%, leading to a 40% overall invalidity degree.
