CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior award. The Board found that the original decision incorrectly failed to apportion permanent disability between two distinct industrial injuries sustained by the applicant. Consequently, the case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision, to address issues including apportionment and whether the applicant's condition is permanent and stationary. The Board did not rule on the permanence of the applicant's condition, deferring that to the trial level.
