CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior findings due to insufficient medical evidence regarding apportionment of permanent disability. The WCAB found that the physician's apportionment opinions lacked the necessary detail and reasoning required by statute and case law. Consequently, the cases are returned to the trial level for further development of the record on the issues of permanent disability and apportionment. The WCAB did not address other contentions, including those regarding the applicant's psyche disability or a potential clerical error, allowing them to be raised in further proceedings.
