This is a workers’ compensation claim in which claimant seeks review of the Workers’ Compensation Board’s reduction of the referee’s award for injury to her back. We review de novo and modify the Board’s order to award claimant 40 percent unscheduled permanent partial disability. See Hoag v. Duraflake, 37 Or App 103, 585 P2d 1149, rev den 284 Or 521 (1978).
