ATA/300/1997 ΓÇó Conflict between insurer and disability assessment
ATA/300/1997Tribunal de Justiça / Câmara Administrativa15 de mai. de 1997Remanded
The case concerned social insurance daily benefits. The caisse concluded that the insured person had full work capacity, whereas the disability insurance authority found 85% disability. The court held that such a major discrepancy could not be ignored. It annulled the caisse’s decision and remanded the file for further examination.
LAMA 12 bis al. 1; where the competent insurer’s assessment of work capacity is in marked contradiction with the disability insurance authority’s assessment, the divergence cannot be disregarded. Such a substantial inconsistency requires annulment of the insurer’s decision and remand for renewed assessment; the authority must resolve the evidentiary conflict before deciding on entitlement to daily benefits.

Résumé
Il y a en l'espèce un tel écart entre la décision de la caisse, qui conclut à la pleine capacité de travail de l'assuré, et celle de l'AI, qui conclut à une invalidité de 85 %, que l'on n'en saurait faire abstraction. La décision de la caisse doit être annulée et le dossier doit lui être renvoyé.
