Key legal question
Whether the MEDAS expert report lacked probative value because it did not adequately assess a somatoform pain disorder and neurasthenia.
Extracted holding
The expert report was sufficiently reasoned and could be relied upon; the criticism was unpersuasive.
Extracted reasoning
The psychiatrist discussed disorders from the somatoform spectrum, explained why neurasthenia rather than somatoform pain disorder was diagnosed, and noted the vagueness of the claimant's statements.
