Key legal question
Whether the 2004 pension award was manifestly incorrect and could be reopened in reconsideration under Art. 53(2) ATSG.
Extracted holding
Yes. The original award lacked a proper assessment of residual earning capacity in adapted work and was therefore manifestly incorrect.
Extracted reasoning
The initial decision relied on incomplete medical and workplace assessments and impermissibly inferred incapacity in other work from incapacity in the former occupation only.
