CompFox AI Summary
This Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision reversed a prior finding of 98% permanent partial disability for Martin Reyes, awarding him 100% permanent total disability after a stroke. The Board found error in the exclusion of applicant's treating physician reports and determined that psychiatric disability, even with a 5% non-industrial apportionment, combined with other impairments, resulted in total disability. The decision also addressed the admissibility of medical reports and the mootness of vocational rehabilitation arguments given the ultimate finding of permanent total disability.
