CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, affirming the finding of industrial injury to the applicant's low back sustained on September 19, 2007. However, the Board struck all other findings and the award, including temporary disability and the EDD lien, as these issues were not properly submitted for decision. The Board noted that the "going and coming" rule argument was not litigated and appeared to fall under the special risk exception, but the facts necessary for this determination were not presented. Future proceedings are required to address issues of temporary disability and medical treatment.
