Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The Board found the totality of medical and testimonial evidence supported the injury findings to vascular system, sleep and psyche, rejecting defendant's contention of lack of medical evidence.
The WCJ and Board found the applicant's permanent disability rating of 100% justified by adding impairments rather than using the combined values chart, and rejected apportionment to non-industrial diabetes based on medical evidence from Dr. Karras.
