Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court could extend the proceedings to consider later medical evidence and an incapacity arising after the administrative decision
Solution extraite
Yes. The later medical findings were closely linked to the original dispute, concerned a common factual basis, and the office had already been heard on the issue.
Motifs extraits
In social insurance, legality is assessed based on the facts at the time of the challenged decision, but the proceedings may be extended to a related issue ready for judgment if the administration has expressed itself on it. Here the later expert opinion and the treating psychiatrist's report concerned the same psychiatric condition and showed an aggravation after the administrative decision.
