Key legal question
Whether the 2007 pension award was so manifestly incorrect that it could be reopened by reconsideration and the reduction upheld on substituted reasoning.
Extracted holding
The original award was not unquestionably wrong; the valuation of the income comparison was arguable, so reconsideration was unavailable.
Extracted reasoning
For reconsideration, the original decision must be beyond reasonable doubt erroneous. Here, the income comparison and assessment of comparative earnings were at least defensible; disagreement with the prior valuation is insufficient.
