Ohio Supreme Court July 13, 1994, No. 93-895 (State ex rel. Smothers v. Mihm)

Per Curiam.

Claimant has already been found to be permanently and totally disabled. Once this determination has been made, “the employee shall receive an award to continue until his death.” (Emphasis added.) R.C. 4123.58(A). The lifetime nature of the award negates the need for continuing medical proof on claimant’s behalf.
