No. 1D12-2353.

109 So.3d 1288 (2013)

Frank BENNIEFIELD, Appellant, v. CITY OF LAKELAND and Claims Center, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

April 8, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bradley G. Smith of Smith, Feddeler & Smith, P.A., Lakeland, and Wendy S. Loquasto of Fox & Loquasto, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Bettina N. Carrier and Thomas Vecchio of Vecchio, Carrier & Feldman, P.A., Lakeland, for Appellees.


PER CURIAM.

In this workers' compensation appeal, Claimant challenges the Judge of Compensation Claims' (JCC's) denial of his claim for permanent total disability (PTD) benefits on grounds that the JCC erred regarding Claimant's date of maximum medical improvement (MMI) and further erred by denying penalties, interest, costs, and attorney's fees associated with that claim. Because we agree, we reverse and remand the case to the JCC for further proceedings.
