The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded a prior decision finding applicant sustained a psychological injury due to workplace stress. The WCAB found the original decision mistakenly applied a cardiac presumption instead of the correct statute and lacked sufficient evidence for the identified cumulative trauma period. The Board also determined that relevant evidence regarding the defendant's good faith personnel actions was improperly excluded. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to develop a complete record and issue a new decision.
