ALJ awards limited PPD on finding that claimant's testimony is not credible

 Bobby Knight v Fedex Ground

Release Date:  Oct 21, 2020  (May 2015)

Venue:  St. Louis

Plot Summary:  The 2-1 Commission affirms limited PPD awards of 4% each for two separate back "strain" cases.  A dissenting commissioner, incredulously, would have awarded 35% for strains based on the rating of claimant's expert.
