Decision  Linda M. Doucette v. TAD Technical Institute

Date: 05/20/2008
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 057726-92
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Linda M. Doucette
  • Employer: TAD Technical Institute
  • Insurer: ACE Insurance Co.

COSTIGAN, J. The insurer appeals from an administrative judge's decision awarding the employee § 34A permanent and total incapacity benefits. The insurer argues the judge erred on three counts: failing to address its defense under § 1(7A); finding the employee's condition had worsened since a prior adjudication of only partial incapacity; and choosing a date for the onset of permanent and total incapacity which is unsupported by the evidence. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the decision.
