Whether the appeal against the AI decision should be allowed and the file remanded for further medical investigation
The record was medically incomplete, especially psychiatrically, so the appeal had to be allowed and the case remanded for a rhumato-psychiatric expert assessment and a new decision.
The SMR itself noted that the clinical documentation remained insufficient; the parties agreed on the need for further expert evidence; no reason existed to deny remand because the medical gaps had not been clarified by the office.
