Opinion
STONE (S. J.), P. J.
A workers’ compensation judge (WCJ) apportioned 50 percent of applicant’s permanent disability to subsequent noncompensable events—applicant’s pregnancy and unemployment—relying on Labor Code section 4750.5. Applicant petitioned for reconsideration, which the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (Board) denied. Applicant then petitioned for a writ of review, which this court granted. After review, we have concluded that the apportionment was erroneous, and remand this matter to the Board for appropriate disposition.
