CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded the prior Findings and Awards in two cases, ADJ10071976 (bilateral knees) and ADJ10079020 (neck, back, shoulders), due to unresolved issues regarding permanent disability, apportionment, and medical treatment. The Board found that the Workers' Compensation Judge's reliance on specific medical opinions was insufficient and required further development of the medical record. The Board also rejected the applicant's argument regarding Labor Code section 5402, as that presumption was not properly raised and stipulations indicated disputes on key issues. The cases are returned to the trial level for further proceedings and new decisions by the WCJ.
