Key legal question
Whether the insurer could reopen the final 2000 pension decision under Art. 53(2) ATSG as manifestly incorrect.
Extracted holding
The conditions for reopening were not met because the original grant of pension and integrity compensation was not clearly wrong.
Extracted reasoning
The original decision relied on psychiatric and neurological expert reports and implicitly accepted the adequacy of the insured's complaints. A reassessment is impermissible where the earlier exercise of discretion was at least tenable; reopening requires that the new assessment appear as the only clearly correct one.
