The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to modify a previous order regarding unreasonably delayed payments for acupuncture treatments and an orthopedic bed. The Board removed the $4,400 Labor Code section 5814.5 attorney's fee, finding it inapplicable to the State of California. They increased the penalty for unreasonable delay to 25% and awarded applicant's attorney a 10% fee on that penalty. The Board also clarified that Labor Code section 5800 interest is due on specific acupuncture visits post-stipulation and award, but not on the orthopedic bed as it lacked a specific award.
