Brazil v. School Bd. of Alachua County
408 So.2d 842, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jan 21, 1982)
DC ordered permanent partial compensation and this was appealed by employer/carrier. DC order was affirmed and the question in his case is whether interest was due on benefits ordered which were subsequently affirmed on appeal. Court ruled that interest should have been paid on ordered benefits and the interest should run from the date the benefits should have been paid. If the employer/carrier fails to pay this interest then a penalty is due on the unpaid interest.
