CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded prior findings, and returned the case to the trial level. The Board found that the six-month employment requirement for psychiatric injuries, per Labor Code section 3208.3(d), was not properly addressed and that psychiatric injury findings were made without a prior determination of underlying orthopedic injuries. Additionally, the Board noted a lack of a clear record of stipulated facts and issues presented for trial. These deficiencies necessitate further proceedings for a new final decision.
