What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The WCJ found permanent partial disability of 64%, but the applicant contended for permanent total disability; the petition for reconsideration was denied and the matter was resolved by compromise and release.
