CHARLES ROMANO vs. RALPHS GROCERY COMPANY, Permissibly Self-Insured

This case involves applicant Charles Romano's reconsideration of a Supplemental Findings and Award regarding medical treatment penalties against Ralphs Grocery Company. The applicant sought penalties for delays in providing a wheelchair and reimbursing out-of-pocket expenses, including a van. However, the WCJ rescinded the Supplemental Award and scheduled further proceedings, rendering the petitions for reconsideration moot. Consequently, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed both the applicant's and defendant's petitions for reconsideration.
