CompFox AI Summary
Defendant sought reconsideration of a $100%$ permanent disability award, arguing the judge erred in relying on the DEU rating specialist, an improperly appointed physician, and awarding psychiatric treatment without a psychiatric injury finding. Lien claimant Midas Recovery Services also sought reconsideration, as its lien for disability benefits was not addressed. The Appeals Board granted both petitions due to a severely disorganized case file that hampered review. Consequently, the original decision was rescinded, and the case was returned to the trial level for proper record preparation and a new decision.
