CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, rescinding a prior award. The Board found the primary treating physician's reports did not constitute substantial evidence supporting the temporary disability award for a cumulative low back injury. Clarification is needed from the physician regarding which injury caused the temporary disability and which body parts were involved. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision after the medical record is supplemented.
