CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior award due to insufficient medical evidence supporting the applicant's sleep disorder claim. The WCAB found Dr. Navab's report lacked specific causation, explanation for impairment rating, and failed to address specific complaints. The case is returned for further development of the record regarding the sleep disorder, including clarification from Dr. Navab and an evaluation by another specialist. The issue of the claim being barred as a post-termination claim was not reached.
