The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to address the defendant's challenge to the applicant's insomnia award. The WCAB found that while the applicant's insomnia was industrially caused, the treating physician's report lacked substantial evidence regarding the 10% whole person impairment rating. Therefore, the WCAB amended the award to defer the permanent disability finding for insomnia and returned the case to the WCJ for further development of the record.
