Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the AI was entitled to revise the full invalidity pension and replace it with a quarter pension from 1 September 2003.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The insured's work capacity improved from June 2003, and the invalidity rate remained about 41%, so the reduction to a quarter pension was justified.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court upheld the cantonal finding that the orthopaedic and psychiatric expert opinions were more probative than the later psychiatric assessment, which relied largely on treating physician certificates and later hospitalizations. No arbitrariness in fact-finding was shown.
