Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the claimant was entitled to a disability pension under the Invalidenversicherung despite a somatoform pain disorder and depressive symptoms
Extrahierter Entscheid
The medical findings did not show an invalidating health impairment in the legal sense; the symptoms were primarily explained by psychosocial stress and were not sufficient to found pension entitlement.
Extrahierte Begründung
A somatoform pain disorder is presumed overcome by reasonable effort unless exceptional criteria show otherwise. Here, the alleged depression and adaptation disorder were not independent, severe comorbidities but reactions to extraordinary psychosocial burdens. Since invalidity requires a distinct psychiatric disorder or comparable disabling condition, and none existed apart from socially caused distress, no pension claim arose.
