Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal became moot after the AI Office reconsidered and replaced its refusal decision
Solution extraite
Yes. The reconsideration fully granted the appellant's conclusions, so the appeal lost its object and the case had to be removed from the docket.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, a social insurer may reconsider a decision before its appellate submission. If the reconsideration fully satisfies the appellant, the appeal becomes moot and the court strikes the case from the roll.
