Peabody v. Shelton, 16 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 25, 3024 CRB-4-95-3 (October 8, 1996), aff’d, 45 Conn. App. 913 (1997)(per curiam), cert. denied, 242 Conn. 906 (1997).
Claimant was a member of a volunteer fire company. Claimant’s status as a member had been changed to “life active member.” Claimant was assigned the task of updating certain computer records. While waiting for a computer room to complete his assigned task, the claimant suffered a heart attack. The trial commissioner found claimant’s heart attack did not occur while claimant was an active member of the fire company as not only had the claimant’s status been changed, but there was evidence that claimant was unable to physically perform the duties expected of an active member. CRB affirmed trier’s denial of benefits pursuant to § 7-314 and § 7-314a.
Wannagot v. Shelton, 12 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 256, 1512 CRB-4-92-9 (June 2, 1994), aff’d, 38 Conn. App. 754 (1995), cert. denied, 235 Conn. 919, 920 (1995).
Trier properly determined that claimant widow had been overpaid compensation benefits where benefits were paid at the maximum weekly compensation rate. § 7-314a sets the average weekly earnings of the decedent as the average weekly earnings of production workers. Claimant’s widow was entitled to sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the average production wage in effect on the date of her husband’s heart attack which caused his death.

Volunteer fireman who sustains a compensable injury while performing fire duties and was also regularly employed full time by a local manufacturer is not entitled to § 31-310 concurrent employment benefits. See also, Wislocki, § 31-310.
