This case involves a widow's petition for reconsideration of a workers' compensation judge's decision denying her deceased husband's claim for industrial injury leading to leukemia and myelodysplasia. The judge initially found no industrial injury and also lacked jurisdiction due to an unfiled dependency claim. However, the judge now recommends further review, particularly regarding a qualified medical evaluator's opinion. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, upholding the jurisdictional finding but deferring all other issues for further development of the medical record and reanalysis at the trial level.
