This case involves cross-petitions for reconsideration by the applicant and defendant regarding an administrative law judge's decision finding permanent total disability due to an industrial injury sustained by the applicant. The applicant argued the average weekly earnings were too low and disputed the medical impairment rating, while the defendant challenged the total disability finding and sought apportionment of disability. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied both petitions, adopting the judge's report, and specifically noted that vocational evidence supported the finding of unemployability independent of any apportionment issues or prior felony conviction.
