This case involves a worker's compensation claim filed after termination, where the defendant argued it was barred by the statute of limitations and post-termination defenses. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded the prior findings, finding the record insufficient to determine a date of injury or address the statute of limitations. Further proceedings are required to develop the record regarding the applicant's claimed injury, its cause, and the applicant's knowledge of the work-relatedness of any disability. The Board could not determine if the claim was timely or barred without this crucial information.
