Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the claimant had an invalidity entitling her to an IV pension despite somatoform pain disorder and depressive episode
Decisione estratta
No invalidating health impairment was shown; the denial of a pension was upheld.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the depressive episode was not sufficiently severe, enduring, or independent to establish a relevant psychiatric comorbidity, and the remaining criteria for an invalidating somatoform pain disorder were not met with the required intensity and constancy.
