Description
Dwayne Wyche (Claimant) appeals from an order of the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (Board) which reversed a decision and order of a Workers Compensation Judge (WCJ) pursuant to which the WCJ had awarded Claimant a penalty in the amount of $5,000 plus litigation costs because the Department of Revenue (Employer) did not file either a Report of Occupational Injury or Disease or a Notice ofWorkers Compensation Denial as required by the Workers Compensation Act (Act), Act of June 2, 1915, P.L. 736, as amended, 77 P.S. 1-1041.4. We affirm. On September 13, 1993, Claimant filed a claim petition in which he alleged that, through the courseand scope of his six years of employment as a Revenue Field Auditor II for Employer, he was exposed to adverse and abnormal working conditions and that, as a result of this exposure, he suffered a psychic injury in the nature of depression and post-traumatic stress. Employer subsequently filed a timely answer to the claim petition in which it denied all of Claimants material allegations.
