Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the original 2001 pension decision could be reconsidered under Art. 53(2) ATSG as manifestly incorrect.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The original pension award was manifestly incorrect because it rested on inadequate medical evidence and a clear violation of the inquisitorial principle.
Motivazione estratta
The decisive 2001 medical reports were barely reasoned and did not satisfy the evidentiary requirements for a reliable assessment of work capacity; the flaw lay in the deficient fact-finding, not in proving the medical diagnosis wrong.
