This case involves a petition for reconsideration filed by defendant Kaiser Foundation Hospitals regarding a prior decision. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration.

APRIL EDSBERG vs. KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITALS

This case returns to the trial level for further development of the record regarding apportionment of permanent disability. The Appeals Board rescinded the prior award, finding the record insufficient to determine if the applicant's industrial injuries *alone* caused total permanent disability, as required by recent apportionment statutes. The parties' experts and the WCJ concluded applicant is likely unemployable, but the medical evidence must now specifically address causation of total permanent disability from industrial sources versus non-industrial factors. A new decision by the WCJ is required after this further evidentiary development.
