What about skin disorders (scarring) under table 8-2? All depends on ADL impact and functional loss. Class 1 goes to 9% WPI. Mild GAF 65 psyche is 8% WPI (11% after FEC adjustment). Nice combo for a sympathetic witness. File may close sooner than later.
I'd stick with the strict if you can, and especially if she is still employed. AG2 can add months if not years to the life of a file, and you are the rebutting party to a presumed correct. Plus, some of these analogies or functional loss assessments can put your job at risk if you have a heavy occupation.
Although this is a terrible situation, I am not sure the Guides (and/or AG2) acknowledge much functional loss. That is why the combo is recommended. Psyche in particular is outside the box and less apt to be challenged (under ADL impact). Skin disorder is obvious and keeps this under the radar.
