AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's request to apply the Long-term Disability Act (LEL) to industrial pipe workers. The court found that the applicant's employer specialized in industrial pipe contracting, meaning the work did not constitute 'construction work' as defined in LEL 1 § 1. Consequently, the Short-term Disability Act (TEL) remained the applicable legislation, and the Social Security Board's decision was upheld.
