Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court had to order an independent medical expert opinion
Decisão extraída
No. The medical file, especially the SMR assessment, left no even slight doubts requiring an external expertise.
Fundamentação extraída
There is no formal right to an outside expert in social-insurance proceedings. Such an expert opinion is necessary only if even slight doubts remain about the reliability or relevance of the internal medical assessment. The existing reports did not create such doubts.
