This case involves an applicant, Theresa Hanlen, seeking reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision. The applicant, a medical clerk, claimed injury to her spine and psyche during her employment from October 18, 2010, to October 17, 2011. The WCAB denied reconsideration, adopting the Administrative Law Judge's report which found no credible evidence to support the applicant's claim of spinal injury. The judge found the applicant's testimony regarding her job duties and the weight of materials lifted to be inconsistent, and therefore the Qualified Medical Examiner's report, based on this inaccurate history, did not constitute substantial medical evidence.
