Wanetta Crenshaw — ADJ9685172, ADJ9685205

Applicant Wanetta Crenshaw, a case records technician for CDCR North Kern State Prison, had two consolidated claims: a 2009 specific injury (ADJ9685172) and a 2009-2011 cumulative trauma (ADJ9685205). The WCJ found no permanent impairment from the specific injury and 19% PPD from the cumulative injury, but used the wrong permanent disability rate (2014 rates instead of 2011 rates). Both parties sought reconsideration. The Board granted both petitions, correcting the PD rate using the 2011 schedule, applying the section 4658(d)(2) 15% increase (because the employer had far more than 50 employees and no return-to-work offer form appeared in the record), correcting attorney's fees, awarding future medical treatment, and deferring the AOE/COE issue in the specific injury case. The Board rejected applicant's claims of AME bias and her request for a new evaluator, finding no good cause to disregard the AME's opinion.
