The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for a work-related disability pension filed by a 59-year-old meat processing area sales manager. Although the applicant alleged that his intermittent memory lapses and concentration difficulties were caused by work-related stress, the court found the medical evidence insufficient to establish a causal link between his duties and the symptoms. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the burden of proof regarding the work-related nature of the disability was not met.
