Opinion

No. 90-3366.

September 18, 1991. Rehearing Denied October 31, 1991.

An Appeal from a workers' compensation order. Steven P. Cullen; Judge of Compensation Claims.

R. Cory Schnepper Kathleen L. Spalding of Levine, Busch, Schnepper Stein, P.A., Miami, for appellant.

Cynthia A. Rudy of McManus, Wiitala Contole, P.A., North Palm Beach, for appellees.


We affirm the Judge of Compensation Claims' award of benefits and finding that claimant reached maximum medical improvement from her physical injuries. This affirmance is without prejudice to the issue of overall MMI being revisited should the subsequent psychiatric evaluation ordered lead to a diagnosis of a work related psychiatric injury. See Copeland Steel v. Miles, 536 So.2d 1179 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989); Orlando Concrete Contractors v. Hinds, 466 So.2d 1272 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985). AFFIRMED.

SHIVERS and WOLF, JJ., and CAWTHON, Senior Judge, concur.
