The Appeals Board denied the petition for reconsideration, affirming the WCJ's findings. The Board found that the medical evidence supported the applicant's permanent total disability, that apportionment was properly handled, and that even with the use of the Multiple Disabilities Table, the applicant's rating remained 100%.
