CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant who sustained multiple admitted industrial injuries while employed as a deputy sheriff. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration because the WCJ's finding of 0% permanent disability was not adequately supported by the evidence, particularly the DEU rater's conclusions. The Board rescinded the prior award and returned the case for further proceedings, including cross-examination of the DEU rater and reconsideration of which permanent disability rating schedule applies.
