Description
Opinion by JUDGE KIRSHBAUM The sole issue in this workmen's compensation case is whether the Industrial Commission correctly determined that the income maintenance benefits paid to claimant for attending a vocational rehabilitation training program, see § 8-49-101(1)(a), C.R.S. 1973 (1980 Cum. Supp.), are not subject to an offset for employer pension plan benefits provided in § 8-51-101(1)(d), C.R.S. 1973. We affirm. The essential facts are undisputed. Claimant sustained a compensable injury in September 1976. A referee concluded that she was temporarily and totally disabled until July 1979, and also awarded her permanent partial disability. Claimant received income maintenance benefits for approximately 32 weeks. After the accident, effective March 1977, she also began receiving a disability annuity from the Public Employee's Retirement Association (PERA).
