Brewster v. Cooley & Associates12/10/1993
e offset. There was no evidence of the type of hardship present when an offset is immediately applied to weekly compensation benefits. See . We do not mean to suggest that proration is never appropriate in cases of
offsets for medical expenses. We only determine that the Judge did not abuse his discretion in denying Claimant's request to prorate the offset under the facts of this case.
Conclusion
We conclude that Section 52-1-47(D) authorized the offset for medical expenses in this case. We further determine that the offset was supported by substantial evidence in the whole record. Finally, the Judge did not err in failing to prorate the offset. Accordingly, we affirm.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
