McMeans v. F.E. Booker Co.
507 So.2d 135, 12 Fla. L. Week. 1113, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Apr 29, 1987)
Claim made for permanent total benefits. Deputy Commissioner ordered the payment of wage loss benefits and made no mention as to the PT claim. When evidence is presented on an issue properly before the Deputy Commissioner the final order must reflect at a minimum that the Deputy is aware of the claim and rejected it. Court determined that it was error for the Deputy not to rule on the P.T. issue. However the error was not reversible since there was no competent substantal evidence of record to support a P.T. award.
