CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to amend the original Findings, Award and Order. The Board found that the applicant's occupational group number should be 360 (porters and packers) rather than 230 (machine operators and tenders). This amendment was based on the applicant's job duties as a warehouse line loader involving lifting, sorting, and moving boxes. The Board deferred issues of permanent disability and attorney's fees, returning the case to the trial level for further proceedings with the corrected occupational group number.
