In re Claim of Floyd11/7/2002
the contention that claimant's symptoms and limitations do not meet the Board's medical guidelines for determining total disability. The fact that claimant does not exhibit all of the specific limitations set forth in the guidelines does not compel the Board to find that claimant is not totally disabled. While the guidelines provide useful criteria, the ultimate determination of total disability rests with the Board and requires a finding supported by substantial evidence. Here, the medical reports of claimant's physician, together with the reasonable inferences from the report of the employer's physician, provide adequate evidence to support the Board's determination.
Crew III, J.P., Spain, Mugglin and Rose, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
