Harold

Petitioner Theresa Harold contends that respondent Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (Board) erred in refusing to reopen her case and in the manner in which it computed the dollar amount of her permanent disability award. While we do not entirely agree with Harold’s suggested computations of her permanent disability award, we conclude the Board did err in its computations.

I

Harold has sustained two industrial injuries while employed by respondent Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles (Board of Education). At the time of both injuries Board of Education was insured for workers’ compensation liability by respondent State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund.).

The first industrial accident occurred on January 26, 1971, (hereinafter 1971 injury) and involved injury to Harold’s right major upper extremity and right lower extremity. The second industrial accident occurred on August 28, 1973, (hereinafter 1973 injury) and involved injury only to her right lower extremity. At present Harold is awarded 321/2 percent permanent disability for the 1971 injury and 33 percent permanent disability for the 1973 injury.
