Volume 8 — North Carolina Court of Appeals Reports

1. Master and Servant 96 — appeal from Industrial Commission — questions presented In passing upon an appeal from an award of the Industrial Commission, the Court of Appeals is limited in its inquiry to the questions of whether there was any competent evidence before the Commission to support its findings and whether such findings justify the Commission's legal conclusions and decisions. 2. Master and Servant 96 — findings by Industrial Commission — appellate review The findings of the Industrial Commission are conclusive on appeal if they are supported by any competent evidence even though there is evidence to support a contrary finding. 3. Master and Servant 94 — sufficiency of evidence to support award In this Workmen's Compensation proceeding, findings by the Industrial Commission are supported by competent evidence and justify its conclusion that plaintiff's temporary total disability terminated on a specified date and that plaintiff sustained a 5% permanent partial disability to her back as a result of the accident in question. 4. Master and Servant 69 — "disability" defined "Disability" as used in the Workmen's Compensation Act means impairment of wage earning capacity rather than physical impairment.<page_number>Page 448</page_number> 5. Master and Servant 66, 69 — total disability to work — mental condition resulting from accident — insufficiency of evidence Plaintiff's evidence was insufficient to support her contention that she is entitled to compensation for total disability to world on account of a hysterical conversion reaction resulting from her injury, where the only medical evidence directly relating any disability as the result of a mental condition to the accident in question assigned a 5% disability as a result of plaintiff's psychological problems the amount of permanent disability found by the Commission.
