Description
Appellee sustained a work-related knee injury in November 1993, for which she received temporary total disability payments through June 1995. The Wyoming Workers Compensation Division denied further benefits on June 9, 1995, after receiving a letter from appellees doctor which stated she had reached maximum medical improvement. Appellee objected, and after a hearing before the Office of Administrative Hearings, the hearing examiner awarded retroactive benefits and ordered benefits to continue on the condition that appellee schedule future surgery. The Workers Compensation Division appealed, claiming that the retroactive award was precluded by appellees failure to comply with statutory filing requirements while her case was pending before the Office of Administrative Hearings, and that future benefits were not appropriate. The Workers Compensation Division also claims that the hearing examiners decision was not supported by sufficient evidence.
