CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to rescind the original award. The Board found that the primary treating physician's reports regarding permanent disability were not substantial medical evidence because they misapplied legal standards and did not adequately account for the applicant's subsequent full-time employment. The case is returned to the trial level for further medical record development and decision regarding permanent disability. Defendant's other contentions are not addressed at this time but may be raised in further proceedings.
