The Insurance Court dismissed the claimant's request to continue receiving a full disability pension after his work capacity loss dropped below 10%. The claimant, a construction worker, suffered permanent loss of binocular and depth vision following an accident in March 1982, initially qualifying him for full benefits until March 1984. The court ruled that the statutory requirement for full pension status was no longer met once his functional impairment fell under the 10% threshold.
