CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a finding that the applicant did not sustain an industrial injury to her psyche. The Board cited the prior finding by a judge that the applicant had not sustained a psychiatric injury "classically defined," and that no timely reconsideration was sought on that specific issue. Furthermore, the Board noted that jurisdiction to find such an injury was lost due to the passage of time and the applicant's failure to file a timely petition to reopen. Therefore, the petition for reconsideration was denied based on these procedural and legal grounds.
