Key legal question
Whether a hypothetical earned income of CHF 25,720 should be imputed to the appellant from 1 August 2016
Extracted holding
Yes. The appellant did not rebut the presumption that her remaining earning capacity was economically usable; her age, language skills, lack of training and work gap were insufficient without concrete, documented job-search efforts.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on the current IV assessment, which confirmed an unchanged health status and retained work capacity. Invalidity-external obstacles must be proven with a high degree of probability. The appellant failed to show serious, intensive and unsuccessful employment efforts and the announced reliance on a pending IV revision did not prevent imputation.
