Questione giuridica chiave
Whether, on a new disability claim, the insured's age and lack of realistic job prospects justified a full disability pension despite residual work capacity in adapted work.
Decisione estratta
Once the AI office entered into the merits, it had to assess all legal and medical aspects. The cantonal court could rely on the combined effect of age and limitations to find no realistic employment prospect and to award a full pension.
Motivazione estratta
A new claim must be examined comprehensively once entered into. The lower court's view that the insured no longer had realistic access to the labor market, even assuming an unchanged residual capacity in adapted work, was not untenable.
