The Insurance Court dismissed the claimant's request for compensation regarding his occupational diseases diagnosed between 1981 and 1982. The claimant, a typist, argued that his symptoms resulted from physical factors, while the opposing party contended the illnesses were caused by increased workload. The court ultimately rejected the claim, finding the conditions arose from workload rather than physical causes.
