CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded a previous award, finding that while jurisdiction was proper and the statute of limitations was not a bar, the original decision failed to adequately address several issues. Specifically, the Board remanded the case to determine the proper defendant(s) and excluded the applicant's heart condition from permanent disability ratings due to insufficient medical evidence of industrial causation. The WCJ must also resolve other outstanding issues raised at trial before issuing a new decision.
