Written by the judges who cited it.

The opinion

McDERMOTT, Justice,

concurring.

I join in the opinion of the majority based on my understanding that what we are approving is the power of the Board to review the amount of a referee’s award in a disfigurement case. We are not, however, passing on the actual standards which the Board may utilize in computing the actual award.
