Key legal question
Whether revision under Article 17 LPGA justified termination of the full disability pension as of 2011-02-01
Extracted holding
The insured's condition had materially improved; he had regained full or near-full work capacity in his usual occupation by 2009-03-20, so the pension could be terminated.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on the SMR assessment based on the treating orthopedist's report and found no convincing contrary medical evidence. The appellant did not show that the lower court's factual findings were arbitrary.
