In order to receive these
benefits it must generally be shown that the employee is unable
to return to work in any capacity, and that this is a permanent

totally disabled. Frequently a states’ workers’
compensation law permits the hearing officer to take into
account a workers’ age, education, training and experience
in making the determination of whether the worker is capable
of substantial gainful employment.
