Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could uphold the lower court's reliance on the MEDAS expert report for occupational pension purposes
Decisão extraída
Yes. The MEDAS report could be used as a basis for deciding the pension claim, and the lower court was entitled to rely on it.
Fundamentação extraída
The IV proceedings had already finally established the relevant work-capacity findings based on the MEDAS report. No new circumstances made that assessment manifestly untenable. The report remained probative for the parallel pension-law issues, including over-obligatory coverage.
