AI generated

An insured individual appealed a decision by the social security office denying a claim for disability insurance benefits, with the case centering on the assessment of the claimant's remaining work capacity in the labor market after a relevant health impairment. The court affirmed the lower authority's decision, reasoning that the medical evidence did not conclusively demonstrate that the claimant's residual capacity, even in comparable alternative employment, was reduced to the extent required to qualify for the claimed disability pension under the relevant social insurance statutes.
