Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal court violated federal law by denying entitlement to an invalidity pension despite a deterioration in health.
Solution extraite
The health condition had worsened since the 2004 final refusal, but not to a pension-entitling degree.
Motifs extraits
The court accepted the psychiatric worsening and the mixed-method assessment, yet the combined invalidity degree was only 34.5% (rounded 35%), below the threshold for a pension.
