Workers’ Compensation: SIF-Prior Convictions

Where a claimant challenged the denial of benefits from the Second Injury Fund, arguing that exhibits showing that he was convicted of Social Security fraud were improperly admitted, the judgment is affirmed because the challenged exhibits were cumulative to the claimant’s admission that he had committed fraud, and the denial of the claim was supported by the evidence.

Judgment is affirmed.
