The petitioner appeals an arbitration decision hoping for an increase in benefits, but of those cases appealed by the petitioner, the commissioners let the benefits stand or decreased the benefits in 73% of these cases. Similarly, the respondent appeals in the hope of a decreased benefit, but of the cases appealed by the respondent, the commissioners did not decrease benefits 77% of the time.
