CLAIM NO. E510091
Before the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission
ORDER FILED AUGUST 19, 1998
Upon review before the FULL COMMISSION, Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.
Claimant represented by EDDIE WALKER, Attorney at Law, Fort Smith, Arkansas.

[1] ORDER[2] This matter is currently before the Commission on the claimant’s motion for attorney’s fees for prevailing before the Full Commission on appeal. After reviewing the claimant’s motion, the respondents response thereto, and all other matters properly before the Commission, we find that the claimant’s motion for attorney’s fees should be granted. [3] In an opinion filed March 30, 1998, the Commission affirmed and adopted the decision of the Administrative Law Judge finding that the claimant was entitled to a permanent partial impairment of 7% to the body as a whole. Therefore, we find that the following paragraphs were inadvertently omitted from our March 30, 1998, opinion:
[4] For prevailing on this appeal before the Full Commission, claimant’s attorney is hereby awarded an additional attorney’s fee in the amount of $250.00 to be paid one-half by claimant and one-half by respondent. Ark. Code Ann. § 11-9-715(a)(2)(B) and § 11-9-715(b)(2). [5] IT IS SO ORDERED.All accrued benefits shall be paid in a lump sum without discount and with interest thereon at the lawful rate from the date of the Administrative Law Judge’s decision in accordance with Ark. Code Ann. § 11-9-809 (Repl. 1996).
