MARIA MONRIAL vs. GLORIA RUBALCABA, ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, overturning a previous award of 91% permanent disability. The Board found that the applicant is permanently totally disabled (100%) based on vocational evidence demonstrating she cannot benefit from rehabilitation due to industrial injuries. Additionally, the Board amended the findings to include a sleep disorder and chronic pain disorder as compensable injuries stemming from the admitted industrial injury. The case is remanded for a new award of permanent disability reflecting these findings.
