District Court of Appeal of Florida January 31, 1985, No. AV-466 (Ventura v. Palm Springs General Hospital)

MILLS, Judge.

In this workers’ compensation case, Ven-tura appeals from an order denying her claim for a lump sum advance of permanent total disability (PTD) benefits. We affirm.

Ventura, a 57-year-old woman, had an industrial accident on 9 April 1981. After being accepted by the employer/carrier (E/C) as permanently and totally disabled, she requested a lump sum advance of all PTD benefits.
