Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the IV office correctly determined the valid income for the revised disability pension
Decisione estratta
The valid income was correctly fixed on the basis of the claimant's likely career development, not by analogizing it to her invalid income or by using the income from a later unrelated career path.
Motivazione estratta
The court found it more likely than not that, absent the accident, the claimant would have continued in the medical practice and advanced to a personnel leadership role. Her later move into administrative and social-work tasks occurred because of health-related limitations and could not be treated as the hypothetical health-income path.
