Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insured was entitled to a pension higher than a quarter pension based on an invalidity rate above 50%.
Decisão extraída
The combined assessment yielded an invalidity rate of 45%, so only a quarter pension was due.
Fundamentação extraída
The court accepted the multidisciplinary expert opinion as fully probative. It found no objective medical elements in the Spanish reports or the later private report that would justify departing from it. With a 50% work capacity loss in the lucrative activity and 25% in household tasks, the mixed method produced 45%.
