Key legal question
Whether the insured person was entitled to an IV pension from 1 September 2004.
Extracted holding
The medical evidence did not establish an invalidating incapacity for work; she remained reasonably able to work in light, physically non-demanding activity.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court agreed that the decisive psychiatric expert opinion diagnosed a somatoform pain disorder but no depression or other severe psychiatric comorbidity. Psychosocial stressors and motivation problems did not amount to disease within IV law, and the remaining evidence did not make the lower court's assessment manifestly incorrect.
