The Insurance Court dismissed the claim of a 61-year-old plant manager seeking work-related disability benefits after 25 years of service. Although the employee suffered from hypertension, bronchial asthma, and latent diabetes, the court determined these conditions were not caused by work-related stress. The court ruled that the medical evidence did not establish a causal link between the employment and the illnesses.
