Key legal question
Whether the pension revision decision of 2002 could be upheld on reconsideration grounds despite being revised on an incorrect basis.
Extracted holding
The 5 August 2002 decision was manifestly incorrect because it relied on insufficient medical assessment and had to be set aside on reconsideration grounds.
Extracted reasoning
The file contained no reliable specialist assessment of work capacity; the treating internist relied mainly on subjective complaints and was not qualified to assess the psychiatric aspects. The revision therefore lacked an objective foundation and was clearly wrong.
