Question juridique clé
Whether the denial of an IV pension was based on an adequate and coherent medical assessment of work capacity.
Solution extraite
No. The file showed an internal contradiction because the RAD considered a new psychiatric assessment necessary, yet the IV office waived it without a valid reason.
Motifs extraits
The RAD psychiatrist expressly requested a new psychiatric evaluation and said no definitive work-capacity profile could be made. The claimant's refusal did not justify omitting the examination absent the warning-and-consideration procedure under Art. 21(4) ATSG. The fact-finding was therefore contradictory and unlawful.
