The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Mery Cordoba's petition for reconsideration. Applicant sought reconsideration of the denial of her psychiatric injury claim, arguing that her trial testimony revealed new information not considered by the Qualified Medical Evaluators (QMEs). The Board found that the applicant's testimony regarding childhood molestation and a past stable marriage was unrelated to work events and did not meet the burden of proof for a predominantly work-related psychiatric injury. Furthermore, the Board held that discovery was properly closed, and the applicant had ample opportunity to present this information to the QMEs.
