CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior decision, returning the case to the trial level for further proceedings. This was due to the original decision lacking substantial evidence and a clear basis for its findings regarding the extent of the applicant's industrial injuries. The Board found the WCJ failed to adequately explain the evidence relied upon for both the admitted injuries and the denied injuries. Additionally, the Board clarified that the applicant's credibility was initially misstated and further medical evidence may be required for denied conditions.
