Description
Opinion OF THE COURT This consolidated appeal raises several issues in the context of a motion to reopen a workers' compensation claim. The claimant suffered a back injury on December 10, 1980, while employed by Fischer Packing Company. Although alleging total disability, the Workers' Compensation Board found that claimant was 50% disabled due to the occupational injury. Liability was apportioned 1/2 against the employer and 1/2 against the Special Fund. In April of 1984, the claimant moved for a reopening of his case based upon a change of condition. The Board found that claimant failed to prove that his physical or functional disability had worsened since the time of the original award and properly dismissed the motion.
