Manor, 07-1226, p. 3 (La.App. 3 Cir. 3/12/08), 980 So.2d 163 , 165 stating: This statute is penal in nature and must be strictly construed in favor of the one receiving benefits. Fontenot v. Reddell Vidrine Water District, 02-439 (La.1/14/03), 836 So.2d 14 . Under this provision, the employer must prove: (1) there is a false statement or representation; (2) it is willfully made; and, (3) it is made for the purpose of obtaining or defeating any benefit or payment. Resweber v. Haroil Constr. Co., 94-2708 (La.9/5/95), 660 So.2d 7 . Nevertheless, this court has held that “[b]enefits are not terminated under the section for false statements that are inadvertent or inconsequential, but only false statements] which are determined by the workers’ compensation judge, as authorized by La. R.S. 23: 1208, to be willfully made for the purpose of obtaining or defeating benefits, (citations omitted).”
