Description
Shirley Merva (Claimant) petitions for review of two orders of the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (Board). The Board affirmed the decisions of a Workers Compensation Judge (WCJ) granting the Claim Petition and Fatal Claim Petition filed by Claimant on behalf of her deceased husband, Augustine Merva (Decedent) and granting in part and denying in part Claimants Penalty Petition. The WCJ also denied Claimants request for unreasonable contest attorneys fees, denied Claimants request that Medicare be reimbursed for medical bills incurred by Decedent as the result of his work-related injury, rejected Claimants argument that Decedents veterans benefits and social security benefits should be included in the calculation of his average weekly wage and denied Claimant penalties for Employers failure to timely pay a $2000 expert witness fee for a deposition. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
