Key legal question
Whether the insured was entitled to a pension higher than a half disability pension.
Extracted holding
The insured did not establish a right to a higher pension; a residual work capacity of 50% in suitable work remained reasonably exigible.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Tribunal upheld the cantonal court’s reliance on the SMR expertise and found no manifestly incorrect assessment of the evidence. The treating doctors' opinions did not compel a different conclusion, and the complained-of diabetes diagnosis did not show an impact on earning capacity.
