The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a decision awarding the applicant 47% permanent disability. The applicant's petition for removal was dismissed as reconsideration was the proper remedy for challenging the final award. The decision affirmed findings that the applicant was not a credible historian and that his claimed neurocognitive deficits were not work-related. The Board adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's report, which found substantial evidence supported the disability rating based on conflicting medical opinions and video evidence contradicting the applicant's claimed limitations.
