CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The defendant argued the judge erred by combining work restrictions for the left knee and subjective pain for the right knee. The Board found the rating justified, noting the Agreed Medical Examiner stated the applicant was more disabled due to right knee pain. The Board concluded the rater's testimony supported the combined rating without improper addition of disability percentages.
