蘑菇视频AT Held or 蘑菇视频DT Pronouncements
In considering the Appellant’s appeal, 蘑菇视频AT found that the Standing Committee could not reject the request unless it disregarded the provisions of Article 33(a) of the 蘑菇视频JSPF Regulations. However, 蘑菇视频AT noted that it was not in a position to rule on the actual possibility for the Appellant to perform the duties of her respective position and held that the Standing Committee should reconsider the Appellant’s request. 蘑菇视频AT rescinded the Standing Committee’s decision and remanded the Appellant’s request to the Standing Committee for review.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
蘑菇视频JSPB decision: The Applicant requested a disability benefit under Article 33(a) of 蘑菇视频JSPF Regulations. The 蘑菇视频JSPB Standing Committee rejected her request, noting that the inability to use a computer keyboard was not reasonably incompatible with the Applicant’s continued performance of her duties.
Legal Principle(s)
When assessing the reasonable compatibility of service in a member Organisation with a staff member, who is suffering from a permanent or long-term impairment and requesting disability benefits, the staff member’s state of health and duties performed by the staff member on the date of their separation, or at least duties commensurate with his or her education and professional qualifications, must be considered.
