Opinion

No. 13848

Decided May 3, 1977.

An appeal was taken from a decision of the Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board.

Reversed and remanded.

Rodney A. Skeens, for appellant.

W. F. Richmond, Jr., Bowers, Hodson, Hunderson Richmond, for appellees.


The Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board was plainly wrong in denying claimant an increase in a permanent partial disability award where the evidence before it was medical and clearly preponderated in favor of claimant, three of four physicians finding that claimant had suffered progression in his disability.

Reversed and remanded.
