CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board overturned the WCJ's decision, finding that the applicant did sustain an injury AOE/COE to her lumbar spine, despite the WCJ's credibility findings against the applicant. The Board determined that the applicant's claim was not barred by Labor Code section 3600(a)(10) due to existing medical records showing a lumbar spine issue prior to termination and the date of knowledge of industrial causation occurring after her employment ended. The issue of injury to other body parts and all other issues were deferred.
