Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal became moot after the insurer reconsidered its opposition decision and granted the requested subsidy.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The insurer fully granted the relief sought before submitting its pre-trial observations, so the dispute lost its object and had to be removed from the docket.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, an insurer may reconsider a challenged decision until it files its observations. If the reconsideration entirely satisfies the appellant's conclusions, the case becomes moot and is struck off.
