Description
Claimant, Clifford A. Thompson, brought this action for Workmens Compensation benefits against employer, The Banes Company, Inc., and its insurer, The Employers Fire Insurance Company, and appeals from an adverse decision. Claimant now suffers from a heart condition which has totally disabled him. He has had a rheumatic heart condition for a number of years which, in recent years, has evidenced itself in the form of a natural organic heart disease known as aortic stenosis. During World War II he was rejected by the Army because of this heart condition and cautioned by the Army doctors against doing strenuous work. In 1957, he had trouble with his heart while working, received medical treatment, and was warned by his doctor to limit his activities. Thereafter, in January 1960, he again had trouble with his heart while working and was advised by another doctor to quit this job because it involved lifting heavy tanks and warned not to lift heavy objects in the future because of his heart condition.
