Description
Gerald Lake (Claimant) appeals from an order of the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Board) reversing in part and vacating in part the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) order. The WCJ denied the termination petition filed by Whiteford National Lease (Employer) and sua sponte suspended Claimant's workers' compensation benefits upon determining that Claimant had returned to work at wages equivalent to those earned from his time of injury job. Claimant presents two issues for our review: First, whether the Board erred by finding that the WCJ capriciously disregarded competent evidence in denying Employer's termination petition; and second, whether the WCJ erred by suspending Claimant's benefits when Employer had not filed a suspension petition. For the reasons set forth herein, we reverse the Board's order and reinstate the decision and order of the WCJ.
