CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns an applicant who sustained industrial injuries to his right knee, back, and neck. The defendant sought reconsideration of a prior award, primarily disputing the calculation of permanent disability advances (PDAs) and attorney fees. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address the attorney fees, deferring that issue for further proceedings. However, the Board affirmed the original finding of 15% permanent disability and the credit for $2,090.00 in overpaid PDAs, as the defendant failed to establish good cause to overturn the prior stipulation on PDA amounts or present newly discovered evidence.
