Barbara Gross vs. SLATER BROTHERS MARKETS, SPECIALTY RISK SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to address the applicant's permanent disability and an Employment Development Department (EDD) lien. The WCAB rescinded the prior decision, finding the administrative law judge (WCJ) erred by not fully considering the vocational evaluator's opinion on the applicant's total loss of earning capacity. The case is returned for the WCJ to reevaluate permanent disability, considering the vocational expert's testimony alongside the AMA Guides, and to further address the EDD lien.
