This case involves a correctional officer's cumulative trauma claim. The employer sought reconsideration, arguing the cumulative trauma ended on July 8, 2014, as the applicant allegedly sustained no disability prior to that date. However, the Board denied reconsideration, affirming the WCJ's finding that the applicant experienced disability earlier due to chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma. This disability, occurring from February 2007 to February 2008, establishes the injury's cumulative trauma period under Labor Code section 5412.
