Prophet v. BULLOCK CORP.
Court of Appeals of Virginia
Decided December 20, 2011No. 0818112PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
McCullough, Judge.
At issue in this appeal is whether the Workers’ Compensation Commission (“the commission”) erred in concluding that a claim for medical benefits, specifically, a prescription for a drug used to treat weight loss caused by another drug, is time-barred under Code § 65.2-708(A). We conclude that the time bar found in Code § 65.2-708(A) does not apply to appellant’s claim for medical benefits. Therefore, we reverse the decision of the commission.
