Key legal question
Whether SUVA could revise the 40% disability pension because the original award was manifestly incorrect rather than requiring a change in circumstances under Art. 17 ATSG.
Extracted holding
The original pension award was manifestly incorrect; the later reduction could therefore be upheld on substitution of reasoning.
Extracted reasoning
The 2000 award was not a defensible assessment of the insured’s earning capacity, because later clarified employment facts showed a higher work capacity than assumed. Where a pension grant is not supportable on the facts and law as they stood, reconsideration is available even if Art. 17 ATSG revision is not.
