CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) partially affirmed a prior award, finding that the applicant sustained industrial injuries to his neck, back, psyche, hips, and knees. However, the WCAB deferred the issues of injury in the form of diabetes, the applicant's overall permanent disability, and his average weekly wage. This deferral stems from insufficient substantial evidence regarding the industrial causation of diabetes and the applicant's full earnings from all concurrent employments. The case is returned to the Workers' Compensation Judge for further proceedings to develop the record on these deferred issues.
