The Superior Court has upheld a ruling granting permanent total disability status to a 65-year-old school cafeteria assistant. The decision follows the worker's struggle with the long-term physical consequences of breast cancer, which prevented her from continuing her professional duties.
For decades, the worker performed physically demanding tasks, including lifting heavy trays and assisting young children in a school setting. The court's confirmation acknowledges that the physical limitations resulting from her carcinoma diagnosis and subsequent treatment are incompatible with the requirements of her long-standing role.
