Description
Delos L. Bowman, found to be permanently and totally disabled, appeals from the Commission's denial of any benefits. Bowman was a heavy equipment operator, primarily engaged in road construction, from 1936 to 1974, the last 18 years with Twin Falls Construction Company, which employer and General Insurance Company, its surety, are defendants. On August 12, 1974, at the age of 62, he was forced to stop working because of extreme shortness of breath. He was diagnosed as having moderate to severe pulmonary emphysema with secondary congestive heart failure. That he is permanently and totally disabled is not in dispute; the Commission so found. The Commission also found, however, that Bowman's occupation was not a major contributing factor to his pulmonary disease, and that the disease was not contracted or incurred during his employment and was not due to the nature of his occupation as being characteristic of and peculiar to his work as a blade operator, cat skinner and operator of a rock crusher. The Commission, in denying Bowman's claim, concluded as a matter of law that: The Claimant's total and permanent disability may not be apportioned among contributing causes (Section 72-406, Idaho Code).
