 The Body: New York State Supreme Court Judge Orders NYPD to Reconsider Decision to Deny HIV-Positive Officer Disability ...
New York State Supreme Court Justice Rolando Acosta on Tuesday ordered the New York City Police Department to reconsider its decision to deny disability benefits to an unidentified officer who says she was infected with HIV while on the job, the AP/Long Island Newsday reports (AP/Long Island Newsday, 7/21).
The medical board again determined she was not disabled, although a police surgeon found her unfit for duty in 2003 (Gearty, New York Daily News, 7/21).
Acosta called NYPD's decision "irrational" and "perplexing" because city law states that an officer who contracts HIV is presumed to have been infected while performing his or her duties, not "as a result of his or her willful negligence, unless the contrary can be proved by competent evidence," according to the AP/Newsday.
