Wanner v. North Dakota Workers Compensation Bureau

*763MARING, Justice.

[¶ 1] Marvin Wanner appealed a judgment affirming a North Dakota Workers Compensation Bureau order adopting an administrative law judge’s recommended order that Wanner forfeit all additional workers compensation benefits after December 22, 1999, in connection with his 1988 work injury. We hold the Bureau’s finding that Wanner willfully made a material false statement in connection with his claim is not supported by a preponderance of the evidence. We reverse and remand for reinstatement of benefits and payment of accrued benefits erroneously terminated.
