Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court failed to first examine whether there had been a relevant change in circumstances since the prior pension decision before assessing entitlement anew.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The record did not allow a reliable determination of whether the insured's situation had changed in a legally relevant way; further factual investigation by the IV office was required.
Fundamentação extraída
On a new application after a prior denial or withdrawal, the authority must first examine whether the factual circumstances have materially changed since the last legally valid decision. The medical file and expert report did not conclusively answer whether there had been a deterioration affecting work capacity; differing work-capacity assessments on different task profiles were insufficient.
