CompFox AI Summary
The WCAB rescinded an award of 100% permanent total disability due to contested issues regarding cumulative injury, statute of limitations, and apportionment. The Board found the trial judge failed to address the statute of limitations and questioned the unapportioned award given the Agreed Medical Evaluator's consistent apportionment analyses. The case is returned for further proceedings, including potential appointment of a new AME to reevaluate apportionment and address psychiatric reports that were missing from the record.
