Julie A. Sloan v. Employee Benefit Board of The Metropolitan Government Of Nashville And Davidson County, Tennessee

This case stems from an employee benefit board’s decision to change a former employee’s disability pension from “in-line-of-duty” to “medical.” The former employee appealed the board’s decision to the trial court. The trial court reversed the board’s determination on the ground that the board had misapplied the applicable legal standard. Determining that the board relied on the appropriate legal standard and based its decision on substantial and material medical evidence, we reverse the trial court’s decision
