Disability Pension Denial After Vocational Rehabilitation Finding

The claimant, insured under the disability insurance, appealed a decision from the cantonal insurance office that denied continued disability pension benefits after a vocational rehabilitation attempt. The insured had been granted benefits due to an illness causing limited earning capacity, but the insurer terminated the benefit after an evaluation of a vocational rehabilitation measure indicated the insured could re-enter the labor market to some extent. The court ultimately upheld the denial of benefits because the medical evidence, supported by the rehabilitation findings, demonstrated that the claimant retained sufficient residual earning capacity in the general labor market, thereby failing to meet the threshold for continued total invalidity, even if the specific prior occupation was no longer viable.
