Opinion
August 22, 1991
Appeal from the Workers' Compensation Board.
While there is no dispute that claimant suffered from anorexia nervosa, the Workers' Compensation Board was presented with conflicting medical opinions on the question of the causal relationship between her condition and her work activities. This merely raised a factual issue for the Board to resolve (see, Matter of Adler v Guild Elecs., 97 A.D.2d 606). Here, although it was the opinion of claimant's physicians that her work history either caused or contributed to her condition, both the carrier's physician and the impartial specialist determined that the condition was not a work-related illness. Under these circumstances, because the Board's decision is supported by substantial evidence, it must be upheld (see, Matter of Ehrlich v Chock Full O'Nuts Corp., 146 A.D.2d 878).
Mahoney, P.J., Casey, Mikoll, Levine and Crew III, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
