Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court could deny disability due to lack of a qualifying psychiatric impairment and incomplete medical assessment.
Extracted holding
The cantonal judgment lacked sufficient factual findings and reasoning on the severity, independence, and invalidating effect of the depressive disorder and pain syndrome.
Extracted reasoning
The record showed divergent medical opinions and earlier signs of mood disorder dating back to 2002. The lower court addressed the issue too briefly, relied selectively on one expert report, and did not explain why it disregarded other expert evidence. The Supreme Court could not review invalidity on such an insufficient basis.
