## Opinion text

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.
