CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and affirmed the Workers' Compensation Judge's findings with minor amendments. The Board clarified the award for temporary disability in one claim and corrected clerical errors in another. The applicant, an attorney, raised multiple contentions regarding various injuries, including disputes over permanent disability awards, apportionment of psychiatric disability, and defendant's alleged non-compliance with prior orders. The Board largely adopted the Judge's reasoning, finding Dr. Cohen's apportionment of psychiatric disability to be substantial evidence and rejecting arguments for a single combined permanent disability award.
