Applicant Ruben Pedroza sought reconsideration of a WCJ's Findings and Order (F&O) that denied his claim for industrial injury. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the F&O, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The Board found the WCJ erred by relying on a QME's summary of unadmitted subrosa video for credibility findings and identified an unaddressed conflict of interest regarding the QME. The Board determined that applicant's corrected statements about his work history did not significantly undermine his credibility.
