What was disputed, and how it came out
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 heart presumption under Labor Code section 3212.10 and the non-attribution clause under section 4663(e) prohibit apportionment of the heart/hypertension injury, entitling applicant to full permanent disability without apportionment, consistent with prior case law and the WCJ's findings.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
Applicant sustained new and further disability to hips and heart/hypertension resulting in 84% permanent disability
Favours Applicant prevailed
This fact supports the full permanent disability award without apportionment under the heart presumption and non-attribution clause.
