SHERYL WILLIS vs. PINKERTON GOVERNMENT SERVICES, Permissibly Self-Insured, BROADSPIRE (Adjusting Agent)

This case involves applicant Sheryl Willis's appeal regarding two worker's compensation claims. The Appeals Board affirmed the finding of a 1% permanent disability for a left knee injury. However, they rescinded the finding of no permanent disability for a psyche injury stemming from a 2005 assault. The Board remanded the psyche injury claim for further proceedings to develop the record on psychiatric permanent disability and apportionment, citing issues with the applicant's medical history disclosure. The applicant's credibility regarding past psychiatric treatment was a key factor in the decision.
