Key legal question
Whether the prior pension award of 15 May 2003 was manifestly incorrect and could be revised ex officio by reconsideration.
Extracted holding
Yes. The original pension award lacked a properly substantiated medical assessment and was therefore manifestly incorrect in the reconsideration sense.
Extracted reasoning
The 2003 award was based on incomplete and non-conclusive medical evidence, with no adequately reasoned specialist assessment of work capacity and insufficient vocational inquiry. This justified correcting the decision ex nunc et pro futuro.
