CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to address disputes over temporary and permanent disability, apportionment, and further medical treatment. The WCAB found that the trial judge's reliance on medical reports was not substantial evidence due to incomplete medical histories, incorrect dates of injury, and lack of explanation for the delayed onset of disability. Consequently, the WCAB rescinded the findings on these issues and returned the case for further development of the medical record and new findings. The EDD lien determination was also deferred to be revisited in conjunction with the new findings on disability.
