Benefits Pending Appeal

Where there was no question that the worker was entitled to treatment for a condition causally related to an injury under the jurisdiction of the Department, and the only dispute was over which injury and which employer was responsible for the condition, the worker's receipt of benefits should not have been delayed by an employer's appeal. The Department was ordered to provide treatment and compensation during the pendency of the appeal. ....Mario Miranda, 40,116 (1972))
