The Commission affirmed a PTD award against SIF, and concluded subsequent part-time employment did not preclude an award for total disability. Hull v Dr. Pepper 08-117368 8/15/2017
The Commission found that claimant's capacity to work part-time in a highly accommodated work environment did not constitute substantial gainful employment.
Claimant alleges as a result of the primary injury he was hit in the head with a soccer ball. He had a long history of concussions from playing hockey. He claims he also sustained injuries to his neck and both knees. A defense expert concluded his condition in part arose from somatoform disorder.
