Question:

Lucia Enica, who worked as a nurse for the Department of Veterans Affairs, suffered from poliomyelitis, which causes her to limp and prevents her from lifting heavy objects. The VA hospital where she worked accommodated her disability by placing a weight limit on what she had to pick up or push. She continued to experience difficulties over the years and was later reassigned to a position answering the telephone, which did not require walking or heavy lifting. With a master’s degree and 16 years of nursing experience, Lucia was unhappy with the transfer. Has the hospital done enough under the Rehabilitation Act to accommodate her disability? Did it fail in its duty to accommodate? Did Enica properly request further accommodations?
