CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant seeking reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision that issued separate awards for two distinct injuries: a specific injury in 1996 and a cumulative trauma injury from 1997-2000. The applicant argued for a single combined award of 100% permanent disability and questioned the apportionment methodology used by the WCJ. The Appeals Board affirmed the WCJ's decision, finding the applicant failed to specifically identify errors in the WCJ's apportionment and rating, and thus did not meet the burden of proof for reconsideration.
