The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior award due to an incomplete medical record. The judge acknowledged that the primary treating physician's report, which formed the basis for the permanent disability finding, was based on insufficient information. The Board rescinded the original award and remanded the case for further proceedings to develop the medical evidence. The issue of crediting prior disability payments was not addressed and can be raised later.
