Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the challenge to the 25 January 1999 pension decision could be treated as a request for reconsideration.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court should have declared that part of the appeal inadmissible because no administrative decision on reconsideration existed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The AI office had never issued a decision on reconsideration; its 2004 and 2006 decisions concerned only revision under Art. 17 LPGA. A mere statement at the hearing had no decision character, so the court could not rule on reconsideration merits.
