CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior decision, remanding the case to the trial level. The Board found that while the applicant's specific injury notification after termination was valid, the date of the claimed cumulative trauma injury was not determined, making it unclear if it was barred by post-termination claim defenses. Therefore, the case must be further developed to determine the date of injury and apply the relevant statutes.
