Description
Worker appeals the Workers' Compensation Administration's Compensation Order awarding him 22% temporary partial disability as a result of an accidental injury on March 19, 1989. He raises four issues: (1) whether substantial evidence supports the award of 22% temporary partial disability; (2) whether the Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) erred in not awarding Worker reimbursement for charges incurred by him for examination by a health care provider of his choice; (3) whether the WCJ erred in not transferring Worker's health care to the health care provider chosen by Worker; and (4) whether the WCJ erred in concluding that all disputes over benefits due before August 19, 1990, had been fully resolved by the recommended resolution of Worker's first claim. We decline to address the first issue challenging the sufficiency of the evidence because Worker failed to comply with the appellate rule governing such a challenge, SCRA 1986, 12-213(A)(3) (Repl.1992), and we affirm on the remaining issues. We take this opportunity to spell out the requirements for a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence under the whole record review standard, and to explain why compliance is necessary.
