CompFox AI Summary
This case involves two cumulative trauma injuries to applicant's upper extremities. The Appeals Board rescinded prior findings and remanded the case for new decisions due to the WCJ's failure to apply the controlling case law of Benson and Brodie. These cases mandate a causation-based apportionment and a percentage-based calculation for permanent disability indemnity, rather than the WCJ's previous approach.
