Key legal question
Whether the reconsideration of the 1999 pension award under Art. 53(2) ATSG was lawful
Extracted holding
The original pension award was manifestly incorrect and its correction was of considerable importance; the reconsideration was lawful.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that, even considering earlier medical material, the original award lacked a sufficient basis because the impairment was psychiatric and the prerequisites for a disability pension based on mental illness were clearly not met. The later assessments confirmed full work capacity.
