Snapper Creek Nursing Home v. Giberson
20 FLW D1271
JCC's finding that the claimant was permanently and
totally disabled based on her psychiatric condition was
not supported by competent and substantial evidence.
Doctor relied upon history that claimant, who had
extensive history of paranoid schizophrenia, was stable
and capable of maintaining gainful employment prior to
the compensable accident. Doctor testified that he
felt the compensable accident aggravated claimant's
preexisting psychiatric problem because of the fact
that she had been able to maintain gainful employment
prior to the compensable accident. However, there was
no such evidence of record to support the basis of the
doctor's opinion. (On Motion for Clarification and
Reconsideration-original opinion at 20 FLW D1271 A.) On
Motion for Clarification and Reconsideration, case
remanded to JCC for a determination as to the extent of
the claimant's disability resulting from injuries to
her neck and cervical area.
