Opinion
HAERLE, J.
Diane Benson (Benson) seeks review of the en banc opinion and decision after reconsideration of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (Board) that granted her a total of $49,210, in two separate awards, based on a determination that two industrial injuries to her neck each caused 31 percent permanent disability. Benson contends she is entitled to a single award of $67,016.25 because she suffers a combined permanent disability from both injuries of 62 percent. Having previously granted Benson’s petition for a writ of review, we now affirm the decision of the Board.
