CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration, rescinding a prior order that dismissed the applicant's petitions to reopen for new and further disability. The WCAB found that the applicant may not have received proper notice of the Mandatory Settlement Conference and hearing, thus potentially violating due process. Furthermore, the WCAB noted a lack of proof of service in the record for the dismissal hearing. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision due to these due process concerns.
