CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to correct a prior award. The WCAB found that the applicant, a supervising probation officer, qualified for the Labor Code section 3212.10 heart trouble presumption, rendering his cardiovascular disability non-apportionable. Additionally, the WCAB determined that the applicant's disability should be rated under occupational group 490, not 390, as initially assessed. Consequently, the applicant's permanent disability rating was increased from 46% to 87%, with a corresponding adjustment to his attorney's fees and life pension.
