The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior decision finding no discrimination under Labor Code section 132a and assessing sanctions. While the Board agreed sanctions were justified based on the applicant's frivolous 132a claim, they found the WCJ failed to rule on all issues, specifically the applicant's claim for an increased permanent disability award under section 4658.1. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision on the outstanding issues.
