CompFox AI Summary

The Board amended the previous award, reversing the finding of industrial injury to "sleep." The Board found Dr. Navab's report on sleep disorder causation lacked substantial medical evidence due to an inadequate review of medical records and failure to address non-industrial factors. However, the Board upheld the finding of industrial injury for sexual dysfunction, deeming applicant's testimony credible and consistent with medical opinions. The matter was returned to the trial level for a new permanent disability rating excluding the sleep disorder.
