Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Ruth Atkins (hereinafter, “Claimant”) appeals from the decision of the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission (hereinafter, “the Commission”) awarding her permanent partial disability benefits. Claimant raises two points on appeal challenging the Commission’s decision to deny Claimant’s request for permanent total disability benefits arguing the Commission’s decision lacked support based on the competent and substantial evidence presented.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and transcript on appeal. The Commission’s decision is supported by competent and substantial evidence on the record and no error of law appears. Hampton v. Big Boy Steel Erection, 121 S.W.3d 220, 222-23 (Mo. banc 2003). An extended opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties only setting forth the reasons for our decision. The Commission’s decision is affirmed pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
