The WCAB found that meaningful review of the WCJ's award of temporary disability benefits was impossible without this documentation. Consequently, the WCAB rescinded the WCJ's decision and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings. This action is to ensure a proper record is established, enabling the WCJ to re-evaluate the applicant's average weekly wage and issue a new decision.
