Key legal question
Whether the revision and termination of the whole disability pension were lawful after a change in health status
Extracted holding
The pension revocation was lawful because the medical situation had materially changed since the last comprehensive review, especially with improved psychiatric status, and a 80% adapted work capacity could be assumed.
Extracted reasoning
A revision under Art. 17 ATSG requires a relevant change since the last final merits-based review. The court held that the decisive comparison period was the 2006 review, not the original 2001 grant. While the eye condition remained unchanged and the earlier grant was based on weak documentation, the expert opinion and other records showed a relevant improvement in psychiatric functioning and overall residual work capacity.
