ok my sister inlaw got a letter from the wc board and i dont understand if she won or lost.its said the board of indiana that the single hearing members opinion is hearby affirmed.they did not state anything as to she won or they took the judges same opinion and the judge was not in her favor at the hearing thats why it was appealed.any ideas.

[Still in Limbo]

Sounds to Me like the Appeals Board Agreed with the Judge, and did not Over Turn the Original Decision. You should have Her Double Check with Her Attorney, and I Hope I'm Wrong!!!

Maybe this would help;

To ratify, establish, or reassert. To make a solemn and formal declaration, as a substitute for an oath, that the statements contained in an affidavit are true or that a witness will tell the truth. In the practice of appellate courts, to declare a judgment, decree, or order valid and to concur in its correctness so that it must stand as rendered in the lower court. As a matter of pleading, to allege or aver a matter of fact.

A judgment, decree, or order that is not affirmed is either remanded (sent back to the lower court with instructions to correct the irregularities noted in the appellate opinion) or reversed (changed by the appellate court so that the decision of the lower court is overturned).
