Compensation of Banks v. State Accident Insurance Fund
Court of Appeals of Oregon · Decided March 10, 1980 · Buttler, Gillette, Roberts
45 Or. App. 61; 607 P.2d 771; 1980 Ore. App. LEXIS 2550

Compensation of Banks v. State Accident Insurance Fund

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

In this Workers’ Compensation case, the extent of claimant’s permanent disability depends upon the compensability of his headache and blackout spells. Our review of the record leads us to conclude that the referee’s evaluation of the evidence was correct, and that those symptoms were properly included in arriving at the extent of disability. The Board, therefore, should not have reduced the award. The question is a factual one and an extended opinion would serve no useful purpose. See Hoag v. Duraflake, 37 Or App 103, 585 P2d 1149, rev den 284 Or 521 (1978).

Reversed.
