Questão jurídica principal
Whether the claimant was entitled to a higher invalidity pension than the staged pensions granted by the IV office
Decisão extraída
No; the established residual work capacity remained economically exploitable on an adapted, balanced labour market, so no higher pension was due.
Fundamentação extraída
The MEDAS report was relied on as probative. The claimant did not show that the cantonal findings on work capacity were manifestly wrong. Age, prior unemployment, and claimed personal limitations did not make the residual capacity non-exploitable, and even with a possible loss-of-earnings deduction no higher invalidity degree resulted.
