Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Judith Rogers, Judge, concurring. In this case, the Commission allowed the award of weekly compensation to be reduced by the amount appellee received in unemployment benefits. Although I question the propriety of such an offset, this has not been raised as an issue on appeal. Therefore, I concur in the decision in this case, but I write separately to point out that this opinion should not be construed as an endorsement of the offset.
