Docket Number: DIA Board No. 026024-02
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Patricia Babbitt

COSTIGAN, J. Adopting two expert medical opinions that the employee's accepted low back injury was no longer a major cause of her disability, the administrative judge discontinued weekly incapacity benefits as of the date of the § 11A impartial medical examination. The employee appeals, arguing the judge mishandled the medical evidence. We agree, and therefore recommit the case.
