The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a prior decision applying the old disability rating schedule, finding no authority to alter it. The Board also imposed sanctions of $500 jointly and severally against attorney Greg T. Wang and State Compensation Insurance Fund for procedural violations, including filing an amended petition that ignored prior decisions and the applicant's response. These sanctions were reduced from the initially proposed $1,000 due to mitigating factors such as Mr. Wang's inexperience and potential file review errors.
