CompFox AI Summary
This case involves multiple industrial injuries sustained by the applicant from 1990 to 1993. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) reconsidered the original award, amending it to remove findings of injury to certain body parts like the left knee and neck due to insufficient evidence. The WCAB affirmed the finding of 100% permanent disability, as the applicant's orthopedic and psychiatric conditions were deemed inextricably intertwined and not reasonably apportionable. The periods for temporary total disability indemnity were adjusted, and the Board deferred to the WCJ's credibility determination regarding the applicant's average weekly wage.
