The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address the defendant's petition regarding an award for industrial injury. The Board found that the defendant was entitled to a 15% reduction in permanent disability payments under Labor Code section 4658(d)(3)(A) because they offered regular work to the applicant soon after his release to full duty. The Board also rescinded the 25% penalty imposed by the Workers' Compensation Judge, finding no basis for its imposition as the issue was not raised by the parties and due process concerns existed. Ultimately, the Board approved the parties' original stipulations for award.
