Farance v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board

Denial of claimant's penalty petition affirmed where suspension of benefits resulted from claimant's failure to timely submit a form used to report employment and physical condition to an employer; workers' compensation judge did not err in ordering the reinstatement of benefits as of the date claimant ultimately submitted the form and refusing to order retroactive payment.

Ernest S. Farance (Claimant) petitions for review of the order of the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Board) affirming the decision of a workers’ compensation judge (WCJ) which denied Claimant’s penalty petition that had been filed pursuant to the provisions of the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act (Act). *fn1 We affirm.

Marino Brothers, Inc. (Employer) hired claimant in 1979 as a laborer and driver of Employer’s delivery truck. He continued in his employment until January 19, 1990. On that date, Claimant was injured when a cutting torch he was using exploded, causing injuries to his eyes, neck shoulder and hands. Pursuant to a notice of compensation payable dated February 15, 1990, Claimant received weekly compensation benefits based on injuries described as “multiple lacerations”. On June 10, 1991, a supplemental agreement was executed which stated that as of June 20, 1990, Claimant had fully recovered from his physical injuries but he remained disabled as a result of a conversion disorder arising from his work-related injuries. As a result, Claimant’s disability benefits continued.
