CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Ruth Corona's Petition for Reconsideration, affirming the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) decision. The denial was based on a faulty verification in the petition and a credibility assessment of the applicant's testimony regarding a specific injury. The ALJ found the applicant's account of a specific injury to be inconsistent and not supported by evidence, suggesting a cumulative trauma injury instead. The Board gave great weight to the ALJ's credibility findings and incorporated the ALJ's report into their order.
