Question juridique clé
Whether the conditions for reconsidering the 11 March 2004 disability decision were met under Art. 53(2) LPGA
Solution extraite
The prior decision was not manifestly erroneous in the sense required for reconsideration; the conditions of Art. 53(2) LPGA were not satisfied.
Motifs extraits
Reconsideration requires a manifest error assessed on the facts and law existing when the original decision was made. Here, the initial assessment was supportable on the record: the household inquiry was not so detached from the medical evidence as to be untenable, and the later contrary view amounted only to a reassessment after deeper scrutiny.
