The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address an error regarding temporary disability indemnity. The Board affirmed the finding of 41% permanent disability but deferred the issue of EDD lien recovery. Crucially, the Board found the rheumatologist's apportionment opinion substantial evidence, while the AME's apportionment opinion lacked sufficient reasoning. The case is returned to the WCJ for further proceedings on the EDD lien.
