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 25, 2003. With respect to the issues before him, the hearing officer determined that the respondent (claimant) sustained a compensable injury and that she had disability. In its appeal, the appellant (self-insured) appeals the ending date of disability reflected in Conclusion of Law No. 5 and in the Decision section of the Decision and Order, noting that the date is inconsistent with the ending date of disability in Finding of Fact No. 5 and listed in the hearing officer’s discussion. The appeal file does not contain a response from the claimant to the self-insured’s appeal.
DECISION
Affirmed, as reformed.
In his discussion section, the hearing officer states that the claimant’s “disability ended on October 3, 2002” and notes that the claimant was “unable to work with Employer on October 3, 2002, not as a result of her left ankle injury, but as a result of having missed time from her scheduled [training] class.” In addition, Finding of Fact No. 5 contains a disability ending date of October 3, 2002. However, in Conclusion of Law No. 5 and the Decision section of the Decision and Order, the ending date of disability is identified as October 30, 2002. We agree with the self-insured that it is apparent that the October 30, 2002, date is in the nature of a clerical error. Accordingly, we reform Conclusion of Law No. 5 and the Decision section of the Decision and Order by changing the October 30, 2002, ending date of disability to October 3, 2002.
As modified to change the disability ending date in Conclusion of Law No. 5 and the Decision section of the Decision and Order from October 30, 2002, to October 3, 2002, the hearing officer’s decision and order are affirmed.
