The Board gave great weight to the WCJ's credibility determination based on observing the applicant's demeanor during testimony. The applicant's claims of worsening industrial injuries and newly developed psychiatric injury were not supported by substantial evidence or raised appropriately at trial. The WCJ found the applicant lacked credibility, presenting inconsistent histories and making disparaging accusations against medical examiners.
