CompFox AI Summary
The applicant sought reconsideration of a finding regarding her average weekly earnings (AWE) in a workers' compensation case. The WCJ initially calculated AWE based on one year of actual earnings, which applicant argued was inequitable due to a significant increase in her income from concurrent employment in the final months before her injury. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the previous order, and returned the case for a new decision. This was because averaging the entire year's earnings did not accurately reflect her earning capacity due to a recent, substantial increase in hours and income from her other job.
