Dave's Oyster Bar v. Dicks

MILLS, Judge.

This is a workers’ compensation case in which the employer and carrier (E/C) appeal an order awarding wage-loss benefits to Dicks for September 1982 through January 1983. We affirm the award for the month of September but reverse as to the other months.

Dicks suffered a compensable injury to her back on 8 October 1979. Compensation and medical treatment were provided until maximum medical improvement was reached on 16 March 1981. After that date, wage-loss benefits were voluntarily provided by the E/C until September 1982, at which time further wage-loss benefits were controverted.
