This case involves a workers' compensation claim where the defendant sought reconsideration of an award, arguing the statute of limitations barred the claim.

The Board granted reconsideration, amended the date of injury to February 21, 2018, and found the statute of limitations did not bar the proceedings. The Board affirmed the original award but specifically clarified that the claim was timely filed based on the applicant's discovery of the work-related nature of her injury.
