The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address applicant's contentions regarding the admissibility of vocational expert reports and his disability level. The Board reversed the exclusion of applicant's vocational expert reports, finding they should have been admitted into evidence despite CIGA's claims of insufficient notice. Issues regarding applicant's permanent disability exceeding 79%, entitlement to additional attorney's fees, and CIGA's liability for the vocational expert's costs were deferred. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings and decisions on these deferred issues.
