Westmoreland County v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board

Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania

1Opinion of the Court

OPINION BY

Judge SIMPSON.

In this workers’ compensation appeal, Westmoreland County (Employer) asks whether the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Board) erred in affirming a Workers’ Compensation Judge’s decision (WCJ), which, following a remand, denied its termination petition. Employer contends the WCJ erred in determining the testimony of its medical expert was incompetent to support a termination of benefits. It also argues the Board erred in initially remanding this matter after a WCJ granted its termination petition. Discerning no merit in these assertions, we affirm.
