The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to further study the case of Hilario Vasquez. The Board amended the original award to find that Vasquez is entitled to medical treatment for gastrointestinal and urological/sexual dysfunction conditions. However, the Board affirmed the original finding of 82% permanent disability, rejecting the applicant's claims of total disability and error in the determination of these conditions. The decision emphasizes that while these specific conditions did not warrant an increase in permanent disability, they are compensable for treatment purposes as a consequence of the industrial injury.
