MUST ACCEPT MEDICAL AID Compensation Board Rules Claimant Cannot Accept Full Payment The State Workmen's Compensa tion Board has ruled in the case of George Marko, of Steelton, against the Pennsylvania Steel Company, after a second hearing of the case that a claimant who refuses to sub mit to medical attention for a part j of the period of his incapacity due to Injury while :n course of em ployment can not claim compensa tion for the whole period. In this case the company offered reasonable medical service, but Marko declined to allow attention to be given as recommended for a finger "under a mistaken notion that the surgeon intended to ampu tate a portion of the hand" and his refusal increased his incapacity. The board holds that he is entitled to compensation for the period of in capacity less the fourteen day period and less "the number of days his in [ capacity was lengthened or in creased by his refusal to necept the reasonable surgical services tendered him."
