CompFox AI Summary

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding Dr. Lustig's psychiatric reports insufficient substantial evidence for the original award of 46% permanent disability and rescinded that award. The Board also found the temporary disability award for January 17, 1999, through February 25, 2003, lacked sufficient medical evidence and deferred that issue, while affirming the 10% permanent disability for the right arm/wrist injury. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings, including potentially developing the psychiatric injury and temporary disability issues and consolidating with other related claims.
