CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration for both the applicant and defendant. The Board found the original award potentially erred by not fully considering the applicant's future earning capacity in calculating disability rates, despite her part-time employment and educational pursuits. Additionally, the Board remanded the case to address the defendant's claim for a credit against permanent disability for EDD benefits paid to the applicant. The matter was returned to the WCJ for further development of the record and issuance of a new decision.
