The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration. The Board affirmed the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) finding that the applicant failed to prove their injury arose out of and occurred in the course of employment (AOE/COE). The WCJ found the applicant's testimony less credible than the defense witnesses, who testified the applicant claimed injury at home. The Board gave great weight to the WCJ's credibility determinations, as the judge had the opportunity to observe the witnesses.
