This case concerns applicant Dien Le's industrial injury to his back and psyche. The Appeals Board affirmed the finding of psychiatric injury, holding that a three-day absence from work did not violate the six-month employment requirement for such claims. However, the Board rescinded the $70%$ permanent disability finding due to insufficient explanation of how it was derived from the evidence. The matter is returned to the trial level for further proceedings on permanent disability, apportionment, and attorney's fees.
