Cases

Court reversed JCC’s finding that claimant was permanently and totally disabled. Claimant testified that he was in too much pain to attend employment interview or to search for employment. Such testimony is insufficient to override the claimant’s ability to work based on medical evidence. An ability to engage in sedentary employment contradicts a conclusion that the claimant is permanently and totally disabled. However, even if a claimant can work in a limited capacity, he remains permanently and totally disabled if there is no available work within his restrictions.
