CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to amend an award concerning an electrocution injury. The Board modified the award to have the EDD lien for duplicative payments deducted from the applicant's permanent disability award, rather than reimbursed separately by the defendant, and rescinded the award of interest to EDD. The Board affirmed the WCJ's findings of 100% permanent disability without apportionment and the exclusion of sub rosa video evidence. The matter was returned to the WCJ to recalculate the commutation of the award to incorporate the EDD lien payment.
