Key legal question
Whether the SMR psychiatric report could be relied upon despite the claimant's objection to its independence.
Extracted holding
The SMR report was not to be disregarded merely because it originated from the AI medical service; no concrete circumstance raised doubts about the doctor's impartiality.
Extracted reasoning
An SMR report is not automatically equivalent to an independent COMAI expertise, but divergence from treating doctors does not itself require a new expertise. Probative value depends on the established jurisprudential criteria, and the examination and report here gave no reason to doubt impartiality.
