Key legal question
Whether the denial of disability insurance benefits was lawful because no invalidating health impairment was proven
Extracted holding
The record did not establish, with the required probability, a psychiatric impairment causing invalidity; the cantonal court could rely on the medical file as a whole.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the cantonal court did not act arbitrarily in preferring the consistent administrative and other medical opinions over the contradictory expert view. The alleged PTSD and depressive disorders were not sufficiently proven as disabling conditions; the functional limitations were largely explained by psychosocial and sociocultural circumstances.
