CompFox AI Summary
The Board granted reconsideration to further develop the record regarding the applicant's permanent and stationary (P&S) date. The WCJ's reliance on medical opinions was flawed because Dr. Lavigna lacked a complete medical history, not accounting for a subsequent motor vehicle accident. Dr. Jamasbi's opinion also failed to adequately address causation and consider all contributing factors. Consequently, the Board rescinded the original award and returned the case for further proceedings and a new decision.
