DELLA D'ETTEL vs. LONGS DRUG STORES CORPORATION, Permissibly Self-Insured, AIG CLAIMS SERVICES

The Appeals Board amended the original award to correctly apportion the applicant's permanent disability, applying the new apportionment law only to the "new and further disability." The Board calculated the applicant's overall industrial permanent disability at 77.25 percent by subtracting the non-industrial factors from the increase in disability and adding it to the original award. This amended calculation, consistent with Vargas and Brodie, determined the final permanent disability indemnity and life pension.
