Public retirement duty-disability standard
Public retirement Police & Fire duty disability turns on whether a duty-related condition renders the member permanently unable to perform the duties of their position. A cardiac diagnosis often qualifies, but the application must be built with care.
How insurers push back
Insurers frequently point to personal risk factors — weight, family history, cholesterol — to argue the disease is not occupational. We counter with a full picture of the job's cumulative demands and, where needed, independent cardiology opinion.
