The Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the WCJ's decision regarding applicant Mary Atanda's industrial injuries. The WCJ had awarded temporary disability, permanent disability, and further medical treatment for admitted lumbar spine, neck, and knee injuries. However, the WCJ did not adequately explain the reasoning for denying claims for psychiatric injury, arm injury, circulatory system issues, headaches, or irritable bowel syndrome. Therefore, the Board rescinded the WCJ's decision and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings and a decision that sufficiently explains the grounds for determination.
