CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior finding that applicant sustained a cumulative injury to her neck and shoulders. While the defendant argued the injury was to a different body part and dated earlier, the Board affirmed the WCJ's decision, amending it to explicitly include an award for necessary medical treatment. The decision acknowledges the defendant's arguments but ultimately upholds the applicant's entitlement to benefits for the industrial injury.
