M. Irene Oesterling v. Harry N. Walters, in His Official Capacity as Administrator of Veterans Affairs

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding appellant was not handicapped although impairment \to some degree\ affected ability to perform major life activities of sitting and standing
• finding that the district court did not clearly err in concluding that plaintiff was not “handicapped” within the meaning of the Rehabilitation Act by varicose veins, because although her “varicosities . . . rapidly became distended on standing, they drained well at rest”
• a woman whose varicose veins prevented her from standing or walking for long periods was not disabled under the Rehabilitation Act's similar definition
