Allied Parcel Delivery v. Dixon

466 So.2d 439, 10 Fla. L. Week. 894, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Apr 09, 1985)

Failure to state reasons in order for accepting one doctor's opinion over others is reversable error where the reason for the finding is not apparent from the record or where it appears the deputy has overlooked or ignored evidence in the record. In this case however it was apparent why one doctor's testimony was accepted over anothers and it was likewise apparent that the deputy commissioner did not overlook or ignore a doctor's testimony.The adequacy or inadequacy of a claimant's work search is irrelevant where from a medical standpoint the claimant is unable to engage in any type of physical activity or return to work.
