Scharfe argued the administrative law judge erred in calculating his average weekly earnings, claiming the judge disregarded significant self-employment income. The Board denied reconsideration, affirming the judge's decision that Scharfe failed to provide substantial evidence of his self-employment earnings, as his tax returns showed a net loss. Additionally, the Board found no error in the admission of income declarations from Scharfe's child support cases, which contradicted his claimed earnings.
