Key legal question
Whether the bidisciplinary rheumatology and psychiatry expertise was reliable
Extracted holding
Yes. The court found the expert report comprehensive, consistent, and based on examinations and the file; the objections did not undermine its probative value.
Extracted reasoning
The experts addressed the injury history, symptoms, and functional capacity in a reasoned way. The psychiatric expert validly identified aggravation-like presentation rather than a diagnosable disorder with work impact; the rheumatologist plausibly limited heavy standing/walking work but allowed lighter adapted work.
