CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration as untimely and procedurally deficient. The applicant sought to overturn an award, but their petition was filed nearly a year after the original award and almost ten months after a clerical amendment corrected the defendant's insurance carrier. The Board found the petition lacked specificity and failed to demonstrate the applicant was aggrieved by the amendment. Therefore, the petition was dismissed, and sanctions were warned for future "skeletal" filings.
