As used in this part 8, unless the context otherwise requires:

(1)

“Assigned duties” means those specific tasks or jobs designated by the employer for a particular position within a job classification. The term does not include the duties of a member’s rank or grade that the member is not actually required to regularly perform in the position which the member occupies.

(3)

“Occupational disability” means a disability resulting in an incapacity to perform assigned duties and expected, with reasonable medical probability, to exist for at least one year.

(3.2)

“Permanent occupational disability” means an occupational disability caused by a condition that is permanent or degenerative, and for which there is no prognosis for improvement or recovery through surgical treatment, counseling, medication, therapy, or other means.

(3.4)

(4)

“Total disability” means inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that may be expected to result in death or that has lasted or may be expected to last for a period of not less than twelve months.
