Baskin v. Waldron Nursing Center12/14/2005
the healing period ends is a factual determination to be made by the Commission. Nix v. Wilson World Hotel, 46 Ark. App. 303, 879 S.W.2d 457 (1994). The Commission also has the duty of weighing the medical evidence as it does any other evidence, and resolving any conflict is a question of fact for the Commission. Id. When reviewing findings of fact made by the Commission, we must affirm if the Commission's decision is supported by substantial evidence. Woodall v. Hunnicutt Constr., 340 Ark. 377, 12 S.W.3d 630 (2000). When, as here, the Commission denies coverage because the claimant failed to meet his burden of proof, the substantial-evidence standard of review requires that we affirm the Commission's decision if its opinion displays a substantial basis for the denial of relief. Id. Substantial evidence is such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. Id.
We have concluded that the Commission's decision displayed a substantial basis for the denial of this relief. We therefore affirm on this point.
Affirmed.
Neal and Vaught, JJ., agree.
