The worker objected to the denial of full loss of earnings (LOE) benefits from August 20, 2007, following a workplace injury to his low back and subsequent depression.
The worker argued that his physical injury and depression rendered him unemployable.
The Appeals Resolution Officer reviewed the medical evidence and concluded that the worker was partially impaired, not totally impaired, and was capable of working 20 hours per week.
The objection was allowed in part, granting partial LOE based on a 20-hour work week.
