CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration of a finding of no permanent disability. The applicant argued the Qualified Medical Evaluator's (QME) report was insufficient, and the primary treating physician's report was substantial evidence. However, the Board found the treating physician's report lacked consistency, with clinical findings contradicting the assigned impairment ratings and pain add-on. Therefore, the Board adopted the WCJ's original findings and denied the petition.
