Case No. ADJ4145263 (VEN 0120366) ADJ2903274 (OXN 0124883)RegularJul 16, 2012
SHARON ANGELL vs. MARYMOUNT ACADEMY, INC., CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION (CIGA) by its servicing agent SEDGWICK CMS, for FREMONT INDEMNITY in liquidation
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the original decision, remanding the case for further proceedings. The primary issue is whether applicant's fibromyalgia should be rated separately from her orthopedic injuries. The Board found no clear evidence in the record supporting the WCJ's conclusion that fibromyalgia was solely a consequence of the orthopedic conditions. On remand, the WCJ must determine the causation of the fibromyalgia and whether it warrants separate rating. The Board deferred ruling on other issues raised by the parties.
