AC44104 - Diaz v. Bridgeport (Lump sum of permanent partial disability benefit payments; ”On
appeal, the defendant claims that the board improperly (1) affirmed the order of
the commissioner granting the plaintiff’s request without instituting a
moratorium against payment of the plaintiff’s first 122 weeks of permanent
partial disability benefits, (2) concluded that the commissioner’s commutation
order does not violate the cap on heart and hypertension benefits pursuant to
General Statutes § 7- 433b (b), and (3) concluded that the commissioner’s
commutation order does not violate the principles of equity, including the prohibition
against double recovery in the workers’ compensation system. We affirm the
decision of the board.”)
