This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing was held on November 10, 2000. The hearing officer determined that respondent (claimant) is entitled to supplemental income benefits (SIBs) for the sixth quarter. Appellant (carrier) appeals on sufficiency grounds. The file does not contain a response from claimant. The direct result determination was not appealed.
DECISION
We affirm.
Carrier contends that the hearing officer erred in determining that claimant is entitled to SIBs for the sixth quarter. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations regarding SIBs and good faith are not so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong or manifestly unjust. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986).
We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
