CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration, upholding the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) decision. The ALJ found the applicant not credible and concluded the claim was barred by Labor Code Section 3600(a)(10) as it was filed post-termination. The Board also adopted the ALJ's reasoning that the submitted EEOC settlement was not newly discovered evidence and irrelevant to proving the workers' compensation claim. Ultimately, the applicant failed to meet his burden of proof for his claimed low back and psyche injury.
