Injury / body parts: cervical spine, shoulder, hands, lumbar spine, knees, kidneys, hypertension/hypertensive heart disease

LC §4660LC §4660.1

Summary

Applicant Arcel Manning, a correctional officer, sustained an admitted cumulative industrial injury to multiple body parts including cervical spine, lumbar spine, hands, knees, kidneys, and hypertensive heart disease. The WCJ found 85% PPD using the Combined Values Chart (CVC) rather than adding the impairments. Applicant sought reconsideration arguing the impairments to multiple body parts did not overlap and should have been added. The Board, applying its recent en banc decision in Vigil v. County of Kern, found the parties litigated CVC rebuttal under an incorrect legal standard by focusing on whether body parts were distinct rather than whether the impacts on activities of daily living (ADLs) overlapped. The Board rescinded the F&A and returned the matter to the trial level for further development of the record under the correct Vigil standard.
