CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding the timeliness of an applicant's workers' compensation claim. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) denied reconsideration, finding that the applicant's testimony regarding non-receipt of a crucial denial letter rebutted the presumption of delivery. The ALJ also determined that, despite the denial letter's content, the defendant's continued interaction with the applicant and lack of clear notice of the statute of limitations made it inequitable to bar the claim. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board adopted and incorporated the ALJ's report, denying the petition.
