Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court wrongly preferred the private rheumatology expert report over the SMR assessment when determining work capacity and invalidity rate.
Decisione estratta
No. The Federal Court found no arbitrary assessment of evidence and held that the private expert report could be relied on.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant did not show any concrete, serious element undermining the cantonal court's free evaluation of evidence. The private report met the jurisprudential requirements for evidentiary value, and the court was not entitled to question the expert's methodology absent medical data discrediting the use of Modic signs or the Oswestry score.
