Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured was entitled to IV-funded retraining to a master's degree in clinical psychology under Art. 17 IVG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No entitlement existed because the master's degree was not shown to provide a sufficiently equivalent and proportionate vocational outcome compared with the prior occupation, and the additional costs were disproportionate to the expected benefit.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that retraining must provide an approximately equivalent earning capacity, not the best possible education. A bachelor's approval does not pre-judge a master's request, but the master must be assessed independently. Here, the expected income remained markedly below the teacher salary, the master level exceeded the original educational level, and the added costs were not justified by the limited integration effect.
