Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the denial of invalidity insurance benefits should be overturned due to flawed medical evidence assessment and incomplete fact-finding.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court's assessment of the medical record was not obviously wrong and did not violate the duty to investigate or the right to be heard; the claimant remained fully capable of light adapted work.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court relied on the binding factual findings that the claimant suffered from chronic spinal pain syndromes but could still perform his former light to medium work or comparable adapted work full-time. The RAD reports were admissible internal medical assessments with probative value, and the file had been disclosed to the claimant's counsel before the objection decision.
