Summary

Applicant David Do was found eligible for Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund (SIBTF) benefits under Labor Code section 4751. The WCJ found that SIBTF was entitled to credit for prior awards but was not entitled to a credit or offset for applicant's LACERA service-connected disability retirement pension. SIBTF petitioned for reconsideration, arguing it was entitled to a credit under Labor Code section 4753 because LACERA granted the pension on account of applicant's preexisting and subsequent disabilities. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to further study whether applicant's service-connected disability retirement was solely due to his heart condition or also due to preexisting conditions, deferring a final decision pending review of the merits.
