CompFox AI Summary

The applicant sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision, arguing that a key psychiatric AME report was unreliable and that the WCJ failed to address this in the opinion. The WCAB denied the reconsideration, finding that the WCJ properly relied on the reports of a different psychiatric AME, thus rendering the applicant's argument regarding the disputed report irrelevant. However, the WCAB granted reconsideration on its own motion to correct clerical errors in the original decision identified by the parties. The matter was then remanded to the WCJ to reissue a corrected decision.
