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 April 2, 2004. The hearing officer determined that appellant (claimant) did not sustain a compensable occupational disease injury; that the date of injury is ______________; that claimant did not timely report the claimed injury; that respondent (self-insured) did not waive the right to contest the compensability of the claimed injury; that the claimed injury of ______________, does not include carpal tunnel syndrome; and that because there is no compensable injury, claimant did not have disability. Claimant appealed the adverse determinations regarding compensability, disability, and timely notice on sufficiency grounds. Carrier responded that the Appeals Panel should affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
DECISION
We affirm.
We have reviewed the complained-of determinations and conclude that the issues involved fact questions for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are supported by the record and 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).
