CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior decision, and returned the case for further proceedings. The Board found the medical evidence regarding applicant Rosalba Hernandez's cumulative trauma injury insufficient due to contradictory opinions from Dr. Roberts. The Board also indicated that the applicant's testimony, while not definitively proving her case, did not necessarily defeat her claim of cumulative trauma injury. Further development of the medical record is required to determine if an industrial injury occurred.
