MARISOL PERALTA vs. FROZEN YOGURT OF VALLEY VILLAGE, INC., STAR INSURANCE CO.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to further develop the record regarding applicant Marisol Peralta's alleged industrial injury. The WCAB rescinded the prior decision finding an injury, citing that the medical opinions were not substantial evidence as they lacked definitive causation findings and weren't based on complete medical histories. Crucially, neither physician reviewed applicant's full medical records, and one deferred causation due to pregnancy while the other awaited X-ray results. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision by the WCJ.

JESUS SANJORO vs. MOTION PICTURE AND TELEVISION FUND, Permissibly Self-Insured, Adjusted By ROYAL INDEMNITY CO.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's award of 46% permanent disability. The Board found, consistent with prior precedent in *Steinkamp*, that medical treatment itself is not apportionable, even if non-industrial factors contributed to the need for that treatment. Therefore, the applicant's permanent disability resulting from knee replacement surgery was not subject to apportionment based on the underlying non-industrial arthritis.
