Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insured had a medically relevant psychiatric impairment causing invalidity before the 2011 refusal decision.
Decisione estratta
No invalidity-relevant psychiatric disorder was proven; the insured remained fully capable of work in adapted activities.
Motivazione estratta
The MEDAS psychiatric findings did not show a detached, self-standing depression. The symptoms remained closely linked to the accident and pain syndrome, with significant psychosocial factors and secondary gain. Under the case law on somatoform pain disorders and HWS/whiplash cases, this did not justify disregarding the administrative denial.
