Sec. 702.135  Payment of claimant's witness fees and mileage in disputed claims.

    In cases where an attorney's fee is awarded against an employer or 
carrier there may be further assessed against such employer or carrier 
as costs, fees and mileage for necessary witnesses attending the hearing 
at the instance of claimant. Both the necessity for the witness and the 
reasonableness of the fees of expert witnesses must be approved by the 
hearing officer, the Board, or the court, as the case may be. The 
amounts awarded against an employer or carrier as attorney's fees, 
costs, fees and mileage for witnesses shall not in any respect affect or 
diminish the compensation payable under this Act (see Act, section 28 
(d)).
