Key legal question
Whether the somatoform pain disorder had exceptional disabling effect warranting an invalidity pension.
Extracted holding
The exceptional criteria for treating the pain disorder as disabling were not met; the disorder remained medically and legally surmountable.
Extracted reasoning
The court found no sufficiently serious psych comorbidity, no consistently unsuccessful therapy, no fully established social withdrawal, and no therapeutically untreatable inner course. The medical evidence supported only limited incapacity.
