Opinion
January 7, 1993
Appeal from the Workers' Compensation Board.
Expert medical evidence, including testimony by an impartial specialist appointed by the Workers' Compensation Board, indicated that claimant's disability was not casually related to her employment. This testimony provided substantial evidence to support the Board's finding that claimant did not suffer from a causally related disability of the cervical spine (see, Matter of Thompson v. New York State Rochester Psychiatric Ctr., 114 A.D.2d 545; Matter of Adler v. Guild Elecs., 97 A.D.2d 606). The fact that conflicting medical opinion was presented does not change this result, given that such conflicts are to be resolved by the Board (see, Matter of Forrest v. Grossman's Lbr., 175 A.D.2d 498, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 862; Matter of Mancini v. Scotia Police Dept., 141 A.D.2d 930).
Mikoll, J.P., Yesawich Jr., Mercure, Crew III and Casey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
