Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant was entitled to an invalidity pension from October 2002
Decisione estratta
No. The medically established limitations still allowed 80% work capacity in adapted light work, so the invalidity degree remained below the pension threshold.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court upheld the lower court's assessment of the medical evidence. It confirmed that the MEDAS expertise was in principle probative, that rejecting the psychiatric sub-expertise did not render the whole multi-disciplinary report unusable, and that the RAD psychiatric assessment could be relied on.
