CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board rescinded the prior award, finding no compensable consequence injury to the applicant's left knee. While the applicant had an existing award for future medical treatment for her right knee injury, the Agreed Medical Examiner's reports indicated no need for left knee treatment. Crucially, any left knee disability did not manifest within five years of the original injury, precluding a finding of new and further disability. Therefore, the petition to reopen for new and further disability was denied.
