CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a registered nurse seeking reconsideration of a workers' compensation award. The applicant argued the WCJ erred by not striking a psychiatric PQME's report and by not finding separate permanent disability for sleep impairment. The Board granted reconsideration solely to amend the attorneys' fees awarded against temporary disability benefits, affirming the original findings regarding injury, disability periods, and permanent disability rating. The WCJ's report on reconsideration was largely adopted, with adjustments specifically for the calculation of attorney's fees on temporary disability.
