Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of a disability pension was unlawful because the medical record required further external expert evidence.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The file allowed a reliable assessment of work capacity; the internal medical reports were sufficiently conclusive and no external expert opinion was required.
Extrahierte Begründung
The RAD physician had examined the insured comprehensively and addressed the treating doctor's view. The fact that he was not a rheumatologist did not undermine probative value. The treating doctor's contrary assessment, as a treating specialist, was to be weighed with caution and did not create relevant doubt.
