Alpizar v. Total Image Beauty Salon

650 So.2d 109

Issue as to whether claimant was entitled to temporary partial for a certain period of time because of failure to submit wage loss request forms was not raised before JCC. Accordingly, issue not preserved for appeal. Under Section 440.20(7), Florida Statutes, the employer/carrier is not liable for interest and penalties when a non-payment of benefits results from conditions beyond the control of the employer/carrier. Claimant had failed to provide information as to her tips in establishing the average weekly wage and accordingly, the employer/carrier could not determine how much in wage loss benefits were due. A claimant may not be awarded wage loss benefits for a period in which wage loss forms had been submitted. Denial of wage loss benefits for certain periods of time affirmed.
