Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant was entitled to a whole invalidity pension instead of a three-quarter pension.
Solution extraite
The court held that the invalidity degree was 67%, so the statutory threshold for a whole pension was not reached and the three-quarter pension was correctly granted.
Motifs extraits
The prior job loss was due to economic reasons, not health reasons, so the valid income had to be determined using statistical tables rather than the last salary. Using the proper occupational and skill-level table values yielded a valid income of CHF 90,208 and, compared with the invalid income of CHF 29,904, an invalidity degree of 67%.
