The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the applicant's petition for reconsideration, amending the original award. The Board found that Dr. Kornblatt's report did not constitute substantial evidence for apportioning 12.5% of the permanent disability to non-industrial causes. Consequently, the apportionment was reduced to 5% solely for the overlap with a prior award, resulting in a revised permanent disability rating of 44%.
