“Total Industrial Disability” Finding Affirmed—Partially Disabled Claimant Was Deemed Unable to Find Work Based Upon His Age, Education and Work History

The Third Department determined claimant, who had a marked permanent partial disability, was properly found to “totally industrially disabled” because his disability, coupled with his age, limited education and other factors, made it impossible for claimant to find work:

“A claimant who has a permanent partial disability may nonetheless be classified as totally industrially disabled where the limitations imposed by the work-related disability, coupled with other factors, such as limited educational background and work history, render the claimant incapable of gainful employment” … . Whether a claimant suffers from a total industrial disability is “a question of fact for the Board to resolve and its determination will not be disturbed if supported by substantial evidence” … . Matter of Rose v Roundpoint Constr, 2015 NY Slip Op 00421, 3rd Dept 1-15-15
