Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal showed a legally protected interest when it challenged only the reasoning on work capacity, not the dispositive result.
Decisão extraída
No. Even if the reasoning on the disputability of the pain-statement issue were wrong, it would not change the dispositive outcome because the adjustment period independently supported the award of full benefits until the end of February 2011.
Fundamentação extraída
Only the operative part becomes final; a challenge to reasons alone does not create appealable prejudice. The appellant did not show that the adjustment-period reasoning violated federal law, so the Court would not review the merits of the work-capacity dispute.
