The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for a disability pension filed by a long-serving social secretary who alleged work-related mental stress caused his vision loss and hypertension. The court acknowledged the employee's severe physical condition and the psychological demands of his role but found that the illness resulted from a combination of factors rather than the job alone. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory requirement for work-related causation was not met, denying the pension benefit.
