CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration of an approved Compromise and Release. The petition was dismissed due to being unverified and lacking specific grounds or references to the record or law, as required by statute and board rules. The Board also corrected a clerical error in the original order to include the case number for the applicant's third claim of injury. This action essentially upheld the original settlement despite the applicant's stated misunderstanding.
