Finding no error, we affirm the decision of the commission. The claim was accepted and compensation benefits paid for the statutory period, terminating on January 6, 1997. Accompanying the claim was documentation from the Social Security Administration that Flax had been denied supplemental Social Security income, was ineligible for Social Security disability and, therefore, had not received any money from the Administration. Employer requested a review of the award, and the full commission remanded the matter to the hearing docket because Flax had a pending application for Social Security benefits. The parties stipulated that the deputy commissioner supervising the matter on remand could return it to the review docket for decision upon the record and written submissions that had followed the original opinion and request for review.
Employer appeals the commission's award.
