CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration due to deficiencies in the trial record. The original findings allowed the applicant to pursue additional disability claims beyond the five-year statute of limitations, but the Board found it could not meaningfully review the decision. Crucially, the adjudication file lacked essential documents like the Minutes of Hearing and Summary of Evidence, and no exhibits were formally admitted. Therefore, the case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision with a proper record.
