Decision

Decision  Grace Akinmurele v. Target Corp.

Date: 11/30/2011
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 023515-08
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Grace Akinmurele
  • Employer: Target Corp.
  • Self Insurer: Target Corp.

COSTIGAN, J. The self-insurer appeals from the administrative judge’s decision denying its complaint for discontinuance of benefits and awarding the employee ongoing § 34 total incapacity benefits based on multiple physical and mental diagnoses. The self-insurer argues the decision and award cannot stand because the judge relied on an expert medical opinion which combined work-related and non work-related diagnoses to conclude the employee was totally disabled. We agree, vacate the decision, and recommit the case for further findings.
