Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the MEDAS expert opinion could be relied upon to deny a pension despite an older, non-participatory assessment regime.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The older MEDAS report retained evidentiary value, but because the case fell in a transitional setting, relatively small doubts would have justified a new expert opinion; here, however, the file allowed a merits decision without a new report.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court applied the transitional jurisprudence on MEDAS reports and found the record sufficiently clear to decide the case reformatorily.
