PER CURIAM.

The only question claimant raises on appeal is whether an employer or insurer may unilaterally stop paying temporary total disability benefits when the claimant has returned to work in a different capacity but with the same hours and wages. We have previously answered that question in the affirmative Jackson v. SAIF, 7 Or. App. 109, 490 P.2d 507 (1971).

Affirmed.
