CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant seeking reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision regarding her permanent disability rating. The applicant argues the assigned 39% permanent disability, resulting in a combined 95% disability with pre-existing conditions, is too low. She claims unrebutted medical and vocational expert evidence establishes total permanent disability (100%) due to her inability to compete in the labor market. The WCAB denied reconsideration, adopting the judge's report, but one commissioner dissented, arguing the evidence strongly supported a 100% disability finding.
