Description
[18 CalApp3d Page 683] Petitioner, born in 1922, injured his back on December 28, 1957, in the course of his employment as sales manager for respondent
[18 CalApp3d Page 684] Sues, Young and Brown, Inc. Temporary disability was furnished for the maximum of 240 weeks. He has
had extensive medical treatment, including five spinal surgeries. On October 20, 1969, the referee issued an award for 100
percent permanent disability. On December 5, 1969, the appeals board granted a reconsideration and directed that petitioner
be examined by an independent medical examiner. Purportedly on the basis of that report, the board directed the rating bureau
to rate for back disability limiting petitioner to "semi-sedentary" work and use of a back brace. After subsequent cross-examination
of the independent medical examiner and the rating specialist, the board amended its instructions to call for a rating for
back disability limiting petitioner to "sedentary work" and use of a back brace. That instruction produced a rating of 70
percent disability which, adjusted for petitioner's age and occupation, resulted in an award of 60 percent. Petitioner's petition
for reconsideration was denied and he petitioned this court for annulment. We grant the relief requested.
