The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the finding that the applicant did not sustain an injury arising out of and in the course of employment (AOE/COE) to his back, internal system, psyche, or sleep disorder. The Board affirmed the administrative law judge's (WCJ) determination that the applicant's trial testimony was not credible, and that the medical reports relied upon by the applicant were based on an inaccurate history. The Board also found that the issue of AOE/COE injury was properly raised for trial, as the applicant had placed benefits contingent on an industrial injury in dispute.
