Absolute permanent disability denied to truck driver undergoing hemodialysis for more than four hours three times a week: court ruled treatment could be received outside working hours

A Spanish Supreme Court upheld the decision to deny absolute permanent disability to a truck driver who requires hemodialysis three times a week, for more than four hours per session, due to advanced chronic kidney disease. The court ruled that the treatment could be received outside working hours and that the worker could perform sedentary activities, therefore a total loss of work capacity was not demonstrated. The Supreme Court did not reassess the medical evidence, limiting itself to rejecting the appeal on procedural grounds. The article also compares the Spanish system with the Portuguese one, where absolute disability also requires permanent incapacity for any and all professions, and hemodialysis alone is not a determining factor for its granting.
