This case involves a workers' compensation claim for injuries to the applicant's right wrist/hand, psyche, digestive system, and neck. The applicant was awarded 60% permanent disability, but the defendant petitioned for reconsideration, disputing the neck injury finding, applicant's credibility, and the disability calculation. The Appeals Board found issues with the medical evaluator's permanent disability calculations and explanations, particularly concerning the right upper extremity impairment. Consequently, the Board deferred the issue of permanent disability to allow for further development of the record at the trial level.
