Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the invalidity insurer had a general duty to issue a separate appealable evidence order on the pending evidence motions.
Decisione estratta
No general duty exists; evidence motions may ordinarily be decided together with the final decision and even implicitly.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that such orders are not regulated in the ATSG and, via Art. 55(1) ATSG, the VwVG applies. Under Art. 46 VwVG, interim orders are only separately appealable if they may cause irreparable harm. In ordinary administrative social-insurance proceedings, separate evidence orders are not generally required, especially given the nature of mass administration and the need for prompt handling.
