CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because it was not properly verified as required by law. Even if it had been properly filed, the petition would have been denied on its merits. The applicant failed to provide legally substantial evidence of ongoing temporary total disability as Dr. Ahmed's reports lacked review of medical records and post-injury work history. Furthermore, the applicant's own testimony indicated he worked extensively after the injury, contradicting the doctor's opinion of sole causation by the original incident.
