1Opinion of the Court
KITE, Justice.
[¶ 1] Appellant Myron J. Collicott was denied worker's compensation benefits after the hearing examiner found he had filed an untimely report of injury. Specifically, the hearing examiner determined Mr. Collicott failed to prove the statute of limitations for filing a claim for worker's compensation benefits pursuant to Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 27-14 505 (LEXIS 1999) should be tolled due to mental incompetence. We hold the hearing examiner did not properly utilize the applicable law to determine mental incompetence. We reverse the Order Denying Benefits and remand for reconsideration.
