485 So.2d 1290, 10 Fla. L. Week. 2624, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Nov 22, 1985)
On Motion for Rehearing court determined that the provisions of 440.20(12)(a) F.S. pertain to lump sum advancements as well as washouts. Court ruled that the payment of compensation based on claimant's life expectancy represented all benefits that she would be entitled to and accordingly was the same as a washout.Court reversed DC's award of advancement of lump sum permanent total benefits. Court determined that a full lump sum payment based on claimant's full life expectancy would preclude claimant's future entitlement to permanent total supplemental benefits.
