CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a workers' compensation applicant seeking reconsideration of a prior award. The applicant's petition for reconsideration focused solely on the denial of medical treatment, specifically Imitrex, Lipoderm, and Norco, for industrial injuries. However, the administrative law judge's previous hearing and award addressed only penalties for late payment of compensation, not the medical treatment disputes. Because the issue of medical treatment was not properly presented to or decided by the judge below, the Appeals Board denied the petition as it sought reconsideration of an issue not previously adjudicated.
