Question juridique clé
Whether the insured person had a legally protected interest to appeal the 27 January 2011 IV decision despite continued entitlement to a full pension.
Solution extraite
Yes, because a higher invalidity degree could affect supplementary benefits and thus her legal position.
Motifs extraits
The court held that a protected interest exists where the outcome may influence the claimant's legal or factual situation. Although pension amount was unchanged, the invalidity degree directly affected means testing for supplementary benefits; therefore the appeal was admissible.
