This case returns to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision after the Appeals Board found the original decision inconsistent with recent case law regarding the combination of separate injuries. The Board rescinded the previous award, highlighting the need to re-evaluate permanent disability based on current apportionment principles and to address the issue of overlap in the applicant's disabilities. The original decision also failed to address specific claims like copy service charges, which the WCJ must now consider.
