CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the WCJ's decision barring the applicant's claim due to the statute of limitations. The Board found the WCJ's findings insufficient regarding whether the injury arose out of employment and the employer's duty to notify the applicant of their workers' compensation rights. Furthermore, the Board determined there was insufficient evidence to support the finding that no benefits were furnished, which is crucial for tolling the statute of limitations. The case was returned for further proceedings consistent with the Board's opinion.
