CompFox AI Summary

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended the award regarding applicant's attorney's fee. The original award calculated the fee as 15% of the total permanent disability award ($3,156.56). However, the Board found this unreasonable given the defendant's credit for a prior permanent disability award. The Board recalculated the fee as 15% of the actual amount payable to the applicant after credit ($579.75), deeming this a reasonable fee for services rendered.
