The Board found that Dr. Rodas' reports, providing a 25% whole person impairment rating, constituted substantial evidence and that the record was sufficient for decision. The central dispute concerns whether Dr. Rodas correctly applied the AMA Guides to place the applicant at the higher end of a disability classification based on pulmonary dysfunction.
