CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended the original award. The Board modified the temporary disability period from May 17, 2010, to May 20, 2013, based on medical opinions. However, the Board affirmed the original finding of 100% permanent disability, adopting the vocational expert's opinion that the applicant's loss of earning capacity was entirely industrial. The Board also found no substantial evidence supporting non-industrial apportionment for the permanent disability.
