The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded an administrative law judge's order, finding the applicant's cumulative injury date to be August 21, 2017. This date was determined to be subsequent to the applicant's employment termination, thus avoiding the post-termination defense under Labor Code section 3600(a)(10). The Board found insufficient evidence that the applicant knew his disability was work-related before his termination. The matter remains off-calendar pending further development regarding specific injuries.
