Opinion

COBEY, Acting P. J.

Petitioner Norman G. Gay contends that all of his psychiatric disability is related to his cumulative trauma injury (see Lab. Code, § 3208.1) and that the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (Board) erred in apportioning 50 percent of that permanent disability as nonindustrial.
