ARMSTRONG, Judge.

This case comes before us on remand from the Louisiana Supreme Court1 for the limited purpose of determining whether plaintiff, Eugene V. Cousins, a disabled New Orleans firefighter, is receiving disability pension benefits, which serve to reduce his worker's compensation benefits under La.R.S. 23:1225(C)(1), or tenure-based retirement pension benefits, which do not reduce compensation benefits.2
