Kentucky Supreme Court

Decided April 26, 2012No. 2011-SC-000335-WCPublished

1Opinion of the Court

*293OPINION OF THE COURT

The Court of Appeals affirmed a decision in which the Workers’ Compensation Board (Board) vacated the average weekly wage calculation because the record contained insufficient evidence to apply KRS 342.140(l)(e) properly. The Board then remanded the claim for further proceedings to include the taking of additional proof. Appealing, the Uninsured Employers’ Fund (UEF) asserts that the Board exceeded its authority under KRS 342.285(2)(c) by remanding the claim in order to provide the claimant with a second opportunity to meet his burden of proof. We agree and reverse.
