Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the reduction of the whole disability pension was lawful without prior reintegration measures for a 60-year-old insured person with long market absence.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The reduction was unlawful because the appellant could not reasonably be expected to reintegrate himself into the labour market without prior vocational measures.
Extrahierte Begründung
Although medical work capacity had improved, the insured person had been out of work for years, had only experience as an automechanic, and was near retirement age. In such a case self-reintegration cannot simply be assumed; reintegration needs must be examined and, if indicated, measures must precede any pension reduction.
