CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and reversed the WCJ's decision. The Board found that separate stipulations for each case settlement did not unambiguously consolidate the claims, despite a summary within each. Therefore, overpayments in two cases could not be credited against underpayments in another case. The Board ordered the defendant to pay the applicant the outstanding $26,979.00 for the settlement in Case No. ADJ9616784.
