1. “In March 2009, Dr. Yuson again noted that plaintiff had continued to get worse in her cognitive and emotional conditions. On 3 April 2009, occupational therapist and life care planner Vickie Pennington ("Ms. Pennington") prepared a life care plan concerning plaintiff. Ms. Pennington's recommendations concerning plaintiff's care included, inter alia, that plaintiff needs constant attendant care for her lifetime, that plaintiff needs attendant care services in her home rather than in an institution or outside facility, and that it is not healthy or reasonable or best for plaintiff that Mr. Chandler continue to care for plaintiff exclusively. Dr. Yuson reviewed Ms. Pennington's life care plan, which he opined was medically necessary and reasonable for plaintiff. On 27 August 2008, plaintiff filed a Form 33 Request that Claim be Assigned for Hearing, seeking "payment of attendant care services by her husband Lester Chandler beginning 20 July 2004 forward," and an award of permanent total disability. On 12 April 2009, defendants filed a Form 33R response denying plaintiff's claim for the following reasons: (1) plaintiff's "current medical condition" was not causally related to her accident; (2) plaintiff was not permanently and totally disabled; and (3) plaintiff was not entitled to payment for attendant care services "rendered prior to written approval of the Commission, which has yet to be obtained."”

2. “On 25 August 2009, defendants appealed Deputy Commissioner Rideout's opinion and award to the Full Commission. On 20 November 2009, plaintiff moved the Commission to award interest on the past due attendant care pursuant to N.C. Gen.Stat. § 97-86.2 (2009), to be paid by defendants directly to Mr. Chandler. On 25 February 2010, the Commission filed its opinion and award, generally affirming Deputy Commissioner Rideout's opinion and award, but changing the hourly rate for attendant care services payable to Mr. Chandler to $11.00 per hour for 15 hours per day, rather than $15.00 per hour for 24 hours per day. The Commission declined to award interest to Mr. Chandler "in its discretion." On 26 February 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to amend the Commission's 25 February 2010 opinion and award, this time seeking an order of mandatory payment of interest to plaintiff, instead of to Mr. Chandler, pursuant to N.C. Gen.Stat. § 97-86.2. On 7 February 2011, the Commission filed an order declining to award plaintiff the interest. Plaintiff and defendants filed timely notices of appeal to this Court.”
