Key legal question
Whether the new disability pension application met the credibility threshold for a material change in health under Art. 87 IVV
Extracted holding
The submitted medical reports did not make a relevant deterioration of the insured's condition credible; the IV office was entitled not to enter into the merits.
Extracted reasoning
The MRI and physician reports showed mainly degenerative findings and subjective pain complaints, but no sufficiently substantiated new objective clinical deficits. The court limited its review to the file available when the refusal was issued and found no reason to disturb the office's assessment.
