Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 2002 disability pension award was manifestly incorrect and could be revoked by reconsideration under Art. 53(2) ATSG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The original pension grant was deemed manifestly incorrect because the earlier assessment of work capacity in adapted work was not defensible in light of the medical record.
Extrahierte Begründung
Reconsideration is permitted only if the original decision is undoubtedly wrong and correction is significant. Where the matter turns on evaluative medical judgment, reconsideration fails if the original assessment was still tenable. Here, the Court accepted the MEDAS assessment that the insured had already been medically able to work full time in adapted work, so the earlier 50% capacity assessment was not defensible.
