Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the occupational pension fund is liable for the insured person's disability pension under Art. 23 BVG due to a sufficient causal and temporal link between incapacity during coverage and later invalidity.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The file showed that the insured's psychological impairment manifested during the insurance period and continuously limited her earning capacity, so the causal and temporal connection required for BVG liability was established.
Extrahierte Begründung
Earlier medical records from 2004 and 2005 already showed depressive symptoms with functional impact. The later MEDAS opinion stating the depression became clinically relevant only in 2007 could not outweigh the contemporaneous evidence. The insured remained at least 30% impaired throughout the relevant period, so there was no interruption of temporal continuity.
