Key legal question
Whether the cantonal judgment affirming the AI denial could stand despite conflicting medical evidence and alleged inadequate reasoning.
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court failed to assess all medical documents and gave insufficient reasons; the case had to be remanded for further psychiatric instruction.
Extracted reasoning
The record contained contradictory psychiatric assessments. The cantonal court relied essentially on the SMR reports without discussing why the numerous other specialist opinions, mostly finding no residual work capacity, were rejected. This violated free evaluation of evidence and the right to be heard.
