Key legal question
Whether the insured person was entitled to an invalidity pension despite a somatoform pain disorder and no objectively verifiable organic substrate.
Extracted holding
The court held that the pain complaints were not shown to be invalidating under the case law on somatoform pain disorders; no qualifying psychiatric comorbidity or sufficiently intense criteria were established.
Extracted reasoning
The medical file did not establish a reliable organic cause. The alleged depressive background was not confirmed by the later expert opinions. Narcissistic traits did not amount to a serious comorbidity, and the other jurisprudential criteria were not met with sufficient intensity.
