Applicant Eduardo Magallon sought reconsideration of a Findings and Order (F&O) issued on February 19, 2025, which denied his petition to set aside an Order Approving Compromise and Release (C&R) from May 23, 2023. Magallon contended he was unable to make decisions about his claim and that the C&R should be set aside due to fraud, mistake, or duress. The Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) found no such grounds, as Magallon admitted understanding the settlement terms and was not coerced. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration solely to clarify that Magallon's petition to set aside the C&R is denied, and otherwise affirmed the F&O.
