Authoring Judge: Tom E. Gray, Sp. J.Drowota, J.
Trial Court Judge: John J. Maddux, Jr., Judge
This Workers' Compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6- 225(e)(3) for a hearing and reporting of finding of fact and conclusions of law to the SupremeCourt. The sole issue on appeal is whether the trial court's award of 4 weeks of permanent total disability benefits is contrary to Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-27(4)(A)(i), which cuts off permanent total benefits when the worker reaches 65 years of age provided the compensable injury occurred before the workerreached age 6. We hold that the trial court's award of 4 weeks exceeds the number of weeks payable under Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-27(4)(A)(i). For the reasons set forth below, the judgment of the trial court is modified to reflect an award of 195 weeks of permanent total disability benefits.

Sandra Warren v. American Alliance Insurance
W1999-02695-WC-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: F. Lloyd Tatum, Senior Judge
Trial Court Judge: Joe C. Morris, Chancellor
This is an appeal by the employer, Premier Manufacturing Corporation, and its insurer, American Alliance Insurance Company, from an award in favor of the plaintiff, Sandra Warren, based upon a finding that the plaintiff had a work-related permanent partial disability of 39 percent to the body as a whole. The trial court found that the plaintiff had pre-existing spondylolisthesis, which was asymptomatic until the work injury of April 23, 1998, and which was exacerbated and advanced to the point of making it symptomatic. The chancellor held that the two and one-half (2.5) times cap established in Tennessee Code Annotated _ 50-6-241(a)(1) applied in this case. In two issues, the defendant argues that: (1) the evidence preponderates against the trial court's finding that the plaintiff's injuries were compensable; and (2) the evidence preponderates against the trial court's holding that the plaintiff had a permanent partial vocational disability of 39 percent to the body as a whole. We find that the judgment of the trial court is affirmed as modified.
