CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior award because the original decision lacked sufficient detail to explain the judge's reasoning. The Board found that the judge's opinion was not detailed enough to understand the basis for the determinations regarding psychological injury, headaches, and permanent disability. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision, with the possibility of developing the medical record further and obtaining a Disability Evaluation Unit rating.
