1Opinion of the Court
DANA, Justice.
Richard M. Webber appeals from a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Board denying his petition for permanent impairment benefits pursuant to 39 M.R.S.A. § 56-B (1989) because he was receiving permanent partial disability benefits for a “scheduled” injury pursuant to the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), 33 U.S.C. § 908(c)(1) (1994). We conclude that permanent impairment benefits under our workers’ compensation law are not dupli-cative of scheduled benefits for permanent partial disability under the LHWCA, and therefore vacate the decision of the Board.
