Description
This appeal by claimant, Jennie Romero, from an order of the Industrial Claim Appeals Office (Panel) denying her permanent total disability benefits for an injury arising out of and in the course of her employment with Miller Stockman, requires us to consider the constitutional validity of § 8-42-111(5), C.R.S. (1994 Cum. Supp.), which disqualifies an employee aged 65 or older from receiving any compensation for permanent total disability. Because we conclude that this statutory provision offends against the equal protection requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment and Colo. Const. art. II, § 25, we set aside the Panels order and remand the cause to it for its further consideration.
