Deanda, Steven

Applicant Steven Deanda, a security guard, sustained admitted industrial injury to his head, neck and back on August 11, 2016, while the WCJ found no industrial injury to his trunk, teeth, and in the form of hypertension. The WCJ awarded 48% permanent disability and further medical treatment. Although represented by counsel, applicant filed his own handwritten Petition for Reconsideration after counsel declined to do so, contending that the decision failed to include treatment for dizzy spells, spinal injuries, and teeth/gum damage. The Board found the Petition timely (because the Findings and Award was apparently never served directly on applicant per Rule 10628), but denied it on the merits because applicant failed to show he was aggrieved or point to evidence supporting a higher rating or additional compensable body parts. The Board emphasized that the body parts applicant complained about were already found compensable with further medical treatment awarded.
