Omnilex headnote

Art. 22 LAA; revision of an invalidity pension on the basis of changed health circumstances; revision of a decision and reconsideration: the insured person bears the burden of showing a relevant subsequent deterioration or other legally relevant change in circumstances. A mere assertion of worsening is insufficient; the competent authority must examine whether the change is durable and materially affects the entitlement. Revision of the decision and reconsideration remain exceptional remedies and presuppose the statutory requirements for reopening an otherwise final decision.
