This case concerns a dispute over attorney's fees awarded from a life pension. The defendant sought reconsideration of a supplemental award granting applicant's attorney an additional 15% of the life pension's present value. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding the original award in December 2010 already included a specific attorney's fee for the life pension. Since applicant's counsel did not seek reconsideration of that initial award, they waived their right to a further fee. Therefore, the Board rescinded the supplemental award and ruled the attorney was not entitled to additional fees.
