CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended a prior decision. The Board found that the 60-day statutory period for acting on the reconsideration petition was tolled due to administrative delay, citing due process principles. The amendment specifically corrected a clerical error regarding attorney fees, increasing them from $8,840.96 to $9,335.75 to align with the awarded permanent disability indemnity. The Board otherwise affirmed the original decision, including the allowance of a lien claim.
