WIGGINTON, Judge.
The employer/carrier appeal the order of the deputy commissioner, challenging the awards of wage loss benefits and rehabilitation benefits in the form of claimant’s participation in an “elee-tronics/computer” course. We affirm the wage loss award, as the record contains competent and substantial evidence to uphold the deputy’s findings. Clay Hyder Trucking v. Persinger, 416 So. 2d 900 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); Vida Appliances, Inc. v. Gates, 416 So. 2d 1186 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). We also affirm the rehabilitation benefits award, as the deputy has wide latitude to award treatment or services when they are deemed necessary. Section 440.49(1)(a), Florida Statutes (1979); Hurricane Fence Industries v. Bozeman, 413 So. 2d 822 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). The record amply supports the deputy’s decision in that regard.
AFFIRMED.

Polo Club Assocs., 688 So. 2d 981 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997)…ancelled or modified, the law does not permit cancellation of property restrictions for the purpose of accommodating the best or most profitable use of a particular piece of property affected by the restriction.

Stack v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 507 So. 2d 617 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987)…no coverage would constitute an impermissible rewriting of the contract. It is not the role of the courts to make an otherwise valid contract more reasonable from the standpoint of one contracting party. A.C. Assocs. v. First Nat’l Bank of Florida, 453 So. 2d 1121 (Fla.2d DCA 1984). It is also beyond the court’s purview to insulate the insurer from the unusual risk as a matter of public policy. Public policy, as a reason for interfering with valid private agreements, must be based on the constitution, statut…

Devco Dev. Corp. v. Hooker Homes, Inc., 518 So. 2d 922 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987)…t that the original letter must be presented in order that Devco be entitled to payment by the bank. However, the contract and the letter did not contain such a requirement, nor can we create one. See AC Associates v. First National Bank of Florida, 453 So. 2d 1121, 1129 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984). There was no evidence of an agreement, express or otherwise, between the parties that Stewart Title’s retention of the letter of credit meant that before Devco made a claim on the letter of credit, Devco was required to hav…
