Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insured was entitled to a disability pension from the BVK
Decisão extraída
No entitlement existed because the temporal link between the insured period and the later disability was interrupted by years of full work capacity in adapted work.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that BVG disability benefits require a close temporal and causal connection between incapacity during insurance coverage and later invalidity. Medical reports showed full capacity in light work from spring 1996 onward, and this capacity lasted until at least 1999, allowing a rent-excluding income.
