OPINION
BURKE, Justice.
This is a petition for review from decisions of the Alaska Workers’ Compensation Board (Board) following remand after our decision in Bailey v. Litwin Corporation, 713 P.2d 249 (Alaska 1986). Two issues are presented. The first is whether the Board erred in calculating a lump sum award for permanent partial disability based on the employee’s life expectancy, without reduction for the employee’s probable future retirement. The second issue is whether the Board abused its discretion by awarding the employee inadequate attorney’s fees.
