Applicant Esperanza Sanchez sought reconsideration of an April 7, 2025 Findings and Award (F&A) which determined her permanent total disability was subject to apportionment. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the petition, concluding that the medical apportionment analyses provided by Dr. Jeffrey Hirsch and Dr. Ezekiel Fink were incomplete as they lacked a detailed explanation for how the apportionment percentages were derived. Consequently, the WCAB amended the F&A to find that the applicant sustained 100 percent permanent and total disability, without a legal basis for apportionment. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings regarding attorney's fees.
