CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the trial judge's finding that applicant Joyce G. Seals was not employed by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) between March 9, 2003, and April 17, 2015. The Board found that LAUSD's own documentation suggesting applicant retired on February 8, 2004, contradicted the finding of no employment during the entire period. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to determine the employment status and compensability of the claimed injuries. The Board also noted potential issues regarding the applicant's admitted testimony and the connection of her current claims to a previously settled injury.
