Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the new pension foundation is liable for the insured person's disability benefits under Art. 23 BVG
Decisione estratta
The foundation is liable because the temporal causal link between the earlier incapacity and the later disability was interrupted during the period of full work capacity, so liability shifted to the new foundation for the subsequent disability.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the insured worked satisfactorily and without medically documented sickness-related absences for a prolonged period, and that the later disability was based on the same underlying causes as the earlier incapacity. On the totality of the circumstances, a relevant interruption of the temporal connection was established.
