CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, upholding the WCJ's decision to deny the applicant's claim for industrial injury. This denial was based on the applicant's failure to disclose a prior significant injury and subsequent compromise and release agreement, which rendered her medical reports unsubstantial evidence. The Board found the applicant's testimony regarding her current injury was not credible and she failed to meet her burden of proof for injury arising out of and in the course of employment. The court deferred to the WCJ's credibility findings, citing relevant case law.
