CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of an award requiring the defendant to provide a larger city vehicle, finding the medical report supporting this accommodation lacked sufficient specificity. The WCAB rescinded the award and returned the matter for further development of the medical record. This was due to the vagueness of the Qualified Medical Evaluator's recommendation regarding a "larger vehicle" and the need for clearer reasoning and specificity on what constitutes an appropriate accommodation.
