CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted applicant's petition for reconsideration to correct a clerical error, increasing the permanent disability rating from 10% to 11% after apportionment, as stipulated by the parties. The Board affirmed the WCJ's findings that the applicant did not sustain industrial injury due to mold exposure or psychological injury, as the applicant failed to meet the burden of proof for these claims. The Board found the WCJ's reliance on the toxicology expert's opinion was supported by substantial evidence, thus affirming the denial of mold-related injury.
