I 2023 8 — Disability Pension Denial Upheld on Vocational Capacity Assessment

The appellant challenged a decision by the social insurance authority denying them a disability pension, arguing that their residual earning capacity had been incorrectly assessed following an accident, despite continued medically verifiable symptoms affecting their ability to work across various sectors. The court upheld the denial, reasoning that the appellant failed to demonstrate that, despite their reduced capacity, they could no longer secure any gainful employment in a field suited to their abilities, age, and training, thus concluding that the legally required threshold for awarding a disability pension had not been met based on the overall vocational rehabilitation assessment.
