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.
Applicant is entitled to a 60% permanent disability award with a 15% increase due to defendant's failure to offer regular, modified, or alternative work as required by law.
Applicant is entitled to temporary disability indemnity for 104 weeks subject to statutory caps and limitations, despite defendant's contention that applicant voluntarily retired.
