The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and found two separate cumulative injuries: one to the heart/hypertension and another to the skin cancer. The Board rescinded the original award of a single $74%$ permanent disability rating. Separate dates of injury were established for each condition, supporting individual permanent disability awards. The prior $10%$ penalty for late payment was also rescinded, as the defendant's liability for permanent disability was uncertain.
