The WCAB granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's decision, and returned the case to the trial level. The WCJ's reliance on Dr. Dini's reports was questioned, as the July 16, 2015 report was not admitted into evidence, and other reports were not properly reviewed by a QME or authorized treating physician per Labor Code Section 4605. The Board found that essential medical evidence regarding apportionment and impairment for all claimed body parts was lacking and ordered further development of the record.
