CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the decision barring the widow's death benefits claim. The Board adopted the Administrative Law Judge's report, which found the claim untimely under Labor Code Section 5406. This was because the deceased employee had previously stipulated to an injury date, and his death occurred more than 240 weeks after that date. The applicant's petition for reconsideration failed to provide specific record references as required by WCAB Rule 10842(b).
