Key legal question
Whether the insured was entitled to only a temporary half disability pension from June 2009 to June 2010 or to a higher pension period.
Extracted holding
For June 2009 to March 2010, the insured had a 50% work capacity that was actually used, so invalid income could not be based on LSE tables; this yields a half pension. For the later period, the cantonal court erred in using a table wage because the insured should have increased work effort to 70%, and no reason justified rejecting that projection.
Extracted reasoning
Actual earnings were consistent with the medically established 50% capacity in the first period. After the health improvement, the duty to mitigate loss justified extrapolating to a 70% work capacity, especially since continued higher employment was probable and even sought by the employer.
