Michelle Jones vs. CITY OF LONG BEACH

This case involves a worker seeking compensation for a sleep disorder in addition to her admitted industrial shoulder injury. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior award. The Board found that the applicant's hypersomnia was not a separate ratable sleep disorder, but rather a consequence of pain from her industrial shoulder injury. Therefore, the case was returned for a new permanent disability rating that excludes the sleep disorder.
