Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the 1995 disability pension award could be reconsidered under Art. 53(2) LPGA and withdrawn as manifestly incorrect.
Decisione estratta
The original pension award was not shown to be manifestly wrong; the later medical assessment amounted only to a new appraisal of the facts, not a valid reconsideration.
Motivazione estratta
For reconsideration, the error must be manifest in light of the facts and law at the time of the original decision. The office relied on later evidence and later case law, which could at most support a revision under Art. 17 LPGA, not reconsideration. The original medical file did not reveal an obviously unsustainable assessment.
