Syllabus

Under the Administrative Agencies Practice Act, courts exercise limited appellate review of administrative agency decisions. A vocational rehabilitation plan is appropriate if it meets the statutory requirements and gives the injured worker a reasonable opportunity to obtain substantial gainful employment. While the validity of a vocational rehabilitation plan is assessed at the time it was formulated, a claimant's pre-existing, non-work-related medical limitations are taken into account as they existed at the time of the work-related injury.
