Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court correctly calculated the invalidity degree under the income comparison method.
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court erred by failing to adjust the statistical wage to the average weekly working time, so the invalid income had to be set higher.
Extracted reasoning
For employed insured persons, the income comparison under Art. 16 ATSG requires use of the statistically adjusted wage. Without that correction, the invalidity degree was only 37%, below the 40% threshold for a pension.
