CompFox AI Summary
This case involves applicant Aroz Ali seeking reconsideration of a workers' compensation award for admitted industrial injuries to her right shoulder, neck, and low back. The WCJ initially awarded 9% permanent disability, but the applicant contended this was too low and argued for the medical opinions of her treating physician. A clerical error was identified in the WCJ's calculation, which, when corrected, increased the permanent disability rating to 10%. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, amended the award to reflect 10% permanent disability, and otherwise affirmed the original decision.
