Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to an invalidity pension based on his residual earning capacity.
Extracted holding
The medical evidence established full capacity for adapted work; the income comparison yielded an invalidity degree of 37%, below the pension threshold.
Extracted reasoning
The orthopaedic expert report was comprehensive and persuasive. The appellant could no longer do his former trade, but he could perform adapted jobs full time on an equalised labour market. Invalidity-fremde factors such as poor German were irrelevant.
