Key legal question
Whether the revocation of the full invalid pension was lawful by revision or reconsideration
Extracted holding
The pension abolition was upheld in result because the claimant's earning capacity had improved; although reconsideration was not accepted, revision under Art. 17 ATSG justified termination.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the earlier pension award was not clearly incorrect, so Art. 53(2) ATSG could not support reconsideration. But later medical opinions showed a relevant health improvement, and the claimant was now fit for 80% work in light physical duties, satisfying Art. 17 ATSG.
