This case involves appeals regarding an industrial injury award for applicant Joann Lutz. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the finding of industrial injury but modified the award, correcting calculation errors and clarifying employer liability. CIGA's contention that it should be relieved of liability due to other available insurance was rejected, as prior rulings established its binding obligation, and Labor Code section 5804 prevented amending the 2002 stipulated award. The Board also affirmed the denial of applicant's claim for psychiatric injury, deeming the medical evidence insufficient.
