Question juridique clé
Whether the diagnosed somatization disorder was an invalidating health impairment under disability insurance law.
Solution extraite
The Court held that the cantonal court prematurely assumed an invalidating psychical impairment; further psychiatric findings were needed on whether the disorder produced non-overcomeable work incapacity.
Motifs extraits
The MEDAS report diagnosed somatization disorder and 50% incapacity, but it did not sufficiently address the established criteria for overcoming a somatoform disorder. The cantonal court relied on interpretations that were not a reliable basis for deciding invalidity, especially regarding the severity of physical comorbidities and an inner psychological course of the required intensity.
