This case involves applicant Roger Jay Bass who claimed a single cumulative injury to his heart and orthopedic body parts. The defendant contended there were two separate injuries and argued for different methods of combining permanent disability. While the Appeals Board agreed it was a single cumulative injury, they found insufficient medical evidence to support the original judge's method of adding permanent disabilities. Therefore, the Board granted reconsideration, affirmed the finding of a single injury, but remanded the case to allow further development of the record regarding permanent disability calculation.
