Supreme Court of Delaware

Estate of Sally Jackson, Claimant, Below Appellant v. Genesis Health Ventures, Employer, Below Appellee

July 1, 20112011 Del. LEXIS 342

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Sally Jackson’s claim for total disability benefits. It held that her retirement did not automatically bar benefits, but the evidence supported the finding that she retired because of an unrelated back injury, removed herself from the workforce, and did not intend to seek reemployment. No separate opinions were filed.
