Orange County Bd. of County Com'rs v. Hanson
400 So.2d 1045, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jul 10, 1981)
Judge failed in his order to state whether the additional disability resulted from the claimant's wage earning capacity loss or an increased anatomical impairment. Court determined that order failed to sufficiently identify the ultimate facts on which the award is based and accordingly, reversed for further findings.Penalties cannot be awarded for failure to timely pay permanent disability. Section 440.20(5), Florida Statutes (1979), provides for an award of penalties for late payment of compensation absent an award. That section has been held not to apply to payment of permanent disability.
