STOULIG, Judge.
This is an appeal by a claimant, Donald A. Jackson, from a district court judgment awarding workmen’s compensation benefits of $35 per week for 100 weeks, together with medical expenses, statutory penalties of 12 percent, and attorney’s fees of $600, subject to a credit of $420 previously paid. Appellant maintains that he is totally and permanently disabled and, accordingly, is entitled to 400 weeks. No answer to the appeal was filed by the defendant, The Phoenix Insurance Company, compensation carrier, and therefore it has acquiesced in the trial court’s award.
