CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the original Findings and Award. The Board found that the WCJ erred by not properly apportioning permanent disability between two claimed industrial injuries and non-industrial factors. Specifically, the Board requires clarification on how psychiatric and erectile dysfunction disability were apportioned and whether all body part injuries were medically substantiated. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to address these deficiencies and ensure a record supports a final determination.
