CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration of a previous award finding industrial injury, 77% permanent disability, and need for further medical treatment. The Board rescinded the award and returned the case for further proceedings due to the WCJ's conceded error in apportionment of cardiac/hypertensive disability. The WCJ will recalculate the permanent disability rating and address other contentions, including the vagueness of attorney's fees from a life pension.
