FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION (Joseph F. Giordano; Kathryn Lea Harman; Semmes, Bowen & Semmes, on brief), for appellants.

(James E. Swiger, on brief), for appellee.

Didlake, Inc. and North River Insurance Company appeal a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission, which affirmed the award of disability benefits to Goodwin.
