The applicant sought penalties for alleged failure to provide proper pulmonary treatment and an increased attorney fee, while the defendant challenged the penalty awarded for unreasonable delay in reimbursing self-procured medical treatment. The Board denied both petitions, affirming the WCJ's findings that the MPN was not defective and that penalties for reimbursement delay were warranted. A dissenting commissioner argued for a higher attorney fee award, finding the time spent on both issues justified the requested amount.
