Question juridique clé
Whether the 1999 pension decisions were manifestly incorrect and could be reconsidered under Art. 53(2) LPGA
Solution extraite
Yes. The pension was granted without waiting for the vocational observation results and without properly examining residual work capacity or comparing incomes; the initial assessment was therefore manifestly erroneous.
Motifs extraits
At the time of the original decisions, medical reports and the observation stage indicated a residual capacity for adapted work. The office prematurely fixed invalidity at 100% by relying only on inability in the former occupation.
