The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended the original award, correcting the applicant's occupational group from 360 to 350. This amendment, along with the WCJ's report, resulted in an increased permanent disability rating from 66% to 71%. The Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning for these changes and addressed several of the applicant's contentions, largely finding them without merit due to lack of prejudicial error or failure to raise issues at trial. The decision affirmed the original award in all other respects, including the findings on left knee, psyche, and back injury.
