Opinion
No. 92-575.
June 18, 1993.
Appeal from an order of Judge of Compensation Claims John J. Lazzara.
J.W. Chalkley, III, Ocala, and Bill McCabe, of Shepherd, McCabe Cooley, Longwood, for appellant.
Gary E. Frazier, of Riden, Earle Kiefner, St. Petersburg, for appellee.
Michael Moore, Tallahassee, for Dept. of Labor and Employment Sec., Div. of Workers' Compensation, amicus curiae.
In this workers' compensation case, the claimant seeks review of an order denying permanent total disability benefits and ordering vocational rehabilitation evaluation. The employer concedes that it is responsible for the cost of any needed rehabilitation. Accordingly, that portion of the order referring the claimant to the Division of Workers' Compensation, Bureau of Medical Services and Rehabilitation, for the ordered vocational evaluation is stricken. In all other respects, the appealed order is AFFIRMED.
SMITH, BARFIELD and MICKLE, JJ., concur.
