However, the WCAB determined that the record lacked sufficient evidence, including proper admission of medical reports from the prior case, to ascertain if the newly alleged body parts (head, brain, nervous system) were covered by the 2011 C&R. The matter was returned to the WCJ for further proceedings to gather necessary evidence and clarify the scope of the prior settlement.
