W.________, a 63-year-old woman, had been working as a secretary since 1979. In 2017, she suffered an accident that made her unable to work. She applied for a disability pension, which was rejected by the Caisse de compensation du canton de Zurich.
The woman appealed, arguing that she was no longer able to practice her previous profession due to her accident. She pointed out that she suffered from severe pain after the accident and was no longer able to concentrate or sit for a long time.
