152 Ga. App. 895 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1980
The trial court affirmed the decision of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation denying benefits to Annie L. Russell. The appellant, Russell, contends that on September 9, 1977, she suffered a work-related aggravation of a pre-existing injury. The record shows that appellant produced no medical testimony and in fact the only testimony on the issue was her own, stating that when she attempted to do the same type work she had been doing when she was injured in July, 1976, the "pain started right back in the same place, hurting the same way.” The finding of the administrative law judge and the board, that "there is no evidence presented that shows that the claimant’s condition was aggravated by the work she was doing in September of 1977,” and "claimant has not shown she is disabled” are urged as error. It is contended that because there is some evidence presented which would show aggravation, or that claimant is disabled, we have to reverse. That is not the rule. The rule is that the decision of the trier of fact will not be set aside on appeal if there is any evidence to support the finding. Guye v. Home Indemnity Co., 241 Ga. 213, 218 (244 SE2d 864).
