The core dispute was apportionment of disability, with Gomez arguing for 100% based on her condition and the defendant advocating for apportionment to pre-existing and other factors. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found that while the parties stipulated to 100% disability, apportionment to non-industrial factors was necessary and properly calculated by the WCJ. The Board also rejected Gomez's request for cross-examination of a rater and rebuttal evidence, as the WCJ directly rated the case.
