The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior award, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The Board found that neither the defendant's expert opinion nor the applicant's primary treating physicians' reports constituted substantial medical evidence to support the initial finding of industrial injury. The applicant's medical reports were insufficient to establish causation to a reasonable medical probability, necessitating further development of the medical record.
