Question juridique clé
Whether the insurer's reconsideration rendered the appeal moot and justified striking the case from the roll.
Solution extraite
Yes. Because the insurer annulled the challenged objection decision and granted the requested continued payment, the appeal became moot and the case had to be struck from the roll.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, an insurer may reconsider a decision or objection decision while an appeal is pending until sending its response to the appeal court. Here that power was used in time, and the new decision fully satisfied the appellant's conclusions, leaving no live dispute.
