The defendants petitioned for reconsideration, arguing the evidence did not support the finding of total permanent disability or the lack of apportionment to other causes. The WCAB denied the petition for reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's report which found substantial evidence, including opinions from an Agreed Medical Evaluator and vocational experts, supported the finding of 100% permanent disability and that all disability was attributable to the work injury.
