“The majority of the court, unfortunately, has now blended the standard for determining the maturing of permanency benefits into our well-established standard for the vesting of those benefits,” Steven G. Howe, the plaintiff’s attorney, said. “Those two concepts, as the dissent correctly points out, are separate and distinct, and they should not have been combined.”

For the first time the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision that total incapacity under workers’ compensation law does not entitle someone to permanency benefits as a matter of law.
In line with case law in the 2019 Connecticut high court decision Brennan v. City of Waterbury, the majority held that the “absence of a permanency finding or agreement sufficient for a binding meeting of the minds” bars permanency benefits under Connecticut General Statutes §31-308.
