Key legal question
Whether the reduction of the disability pension under Art. 17 ATSG was justified by a relevant change in health and earning capacity.
Extracted holding
Yes. The court found a legally relevant improvement in the insured person's health and a raised residual work capacity of 70%, so the pension revision was justified.
Extracted reasoning
The later orthopedic expertise was consistent with the record and showed improved findings in the foot, hip, and wrist compared with the earlier BEFAS assessment; this was a real change, not merely a different medical appreciation of the same facts.
