Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the reduction of the whole invalidity pension to a half pension was lawful.
Decisione estratta
The file did not allow a reliable assessment of the insured person’s earning capacity in his former occupation as a masseur, and the vocational use of his residual capacity in adapted work had not been sufficiently clarified.
Motivazione estratta
The rheumatology report was usable, but the work trials did not yield a dependable result on the capacity in the previous occupation. Because of the combination of severe visual impairment and back limitations, the court could not determine on its own which adapted jobs were realistically accessible on the balanced labour market; additional vocational assessment was required.
