Opinions
The employer/carrier appeals an order finding that the claimant mother was a dependent of her son, who lived apart from his widowed mother and died in a compen-sable accident. There was evidence that the deceased son regularly contributed $107.00 per month to claimant and that two other children of the claimant contributed a like sum. These contributions, along with social security of approximately $200.00 per month, constituted claimant’s only income. There was also evidence that claimant, who is sixty-nine years old, suffers from a variety of illnesses and has been unable to work for a number of years. Applying the criteria of Panama City Stevedoring Co., Inc. v. Padgett, 149 Fla. 687, 6 So.2d 822 (1942) and MacDon Lumber Co. v. Stevenson, 117 So.2d 487 (Fla.1960), we see no error in the deputy’s finding of dependency.
AFFIRMED.
