CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to amend the Findings and Award, primarily to correct the permanent disability indemnity rate to align with the parties' stipulation, as the original judge altered it without sufficient evidence or good cause. The Board also deferred the issue of liability for self-procured medical treatment, finding no evidence was presented to support the original award of reimbursement for such costs. Furthermore, a clerical error regarding the body parts affected by the injury was corrected. The original determination of a 30% permanent disability rating, supported by medical evidence, was otherwise affirmed.
