Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal had become moot after the insurer issued a new decision replacing the challenged one.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The new decision fully granted the appellant's request, so the appeal was moot and the case had to be removed from the docket.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA and Art. 83 LPA-VD, the authority could reconsider its decision during appeal. It did so and replaced the earlier decision with one entirely favorable to the appellant.
