CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a dispute over whether the applicant sustained a specific or cumulative injury in 2013. The Appeals Board rescinded the Arbitrator's decision, finding the medical evidence regarding the injury's mechanism to be deficient and inconsistent. Specifically, the medical opinions on whether the injury was due to a single incident or repetitive activities were inconclusive. The matter is therefore returned to the trial level for further development of the medical record.
