CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior award, and returned the case for further proceedings. The Board found that the administrative law judge erred by not making a clear finding on the applicant's permanent and stationary date and whether any permanent disability payments had been made prior to the expiration of the 60-day notice period. Therefore, it was impossible to determine if the 15% increase for failure to provide work offered applied correctly.
