Question juridique clé
Whether the 19 January 2012 EL award was manifestly incorrect and could be reconsidered under Art. 53(2) ATSG due to omitted hypothetical child allowances.
Solution extraite
No. In the circumstances, the original award was not manifestly incorrect.
Motifs extraits
For a reconsideration, there must be no room for reasonable doubt. Although hypothetical child allowances can count as waived income, the claimant's caregiving and household burdens made it plausible that she could not earn more than the income already imputed. The omission of child allowances alone did not prove manifest error.
