Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the pension reduction was premature because the discrepancy between the medical expert report and the vocational assessment required additional medical clarification.
Decisione estratta
The discrepancy was significant enough that the medical evidence had to be supplemented; the case had to be returned to the IV office for further clarification and a new pension decision.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that vocational assessment results can have evidentiary value, and when they sharply conflict with medical assessments of residual work capacity, this creates serious doubt requiring a clarifying medical opinion. Here, the gap between the expert report and the later P. assessment was too large to be resolved by minor indications of limited effort or the insured person's subjective illness conviction.
