Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the reimbursement claim for wrongly paid invalidity benefits was time-barred under Art. 25 ATSG.
Decisione estratta
The reimbursement claim was time-barred when the refund order was issued on 10 November 2009 because the one-year relative limitation period began with the 2 May 2007 judgment.
Motivazione estratta
The appeal judgment of 2 May 2007 made it clear, or should have made it clear to the IV office with due diligence, that the prior payments lacked a valid legal basis. The refund order was issued only in 2009, after expiry of the relative period.
