California Court of Appeal

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board properly granted reconsideration and rescinded the judge's findings and award and returned the matter to him for a new permanent disability rating based on the agreed medical examiner's findings, where: 1) the examiner performed the assessment here and determined that claimant's plantar fasciitis resulted in a 7 percent whole person impairment equivalent to a limp with arthritis; and 2) petitioner-city has shown no error in that assessment and no error in the board's decision based on that assessment.
