The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed a Petition for Reconsideration because it was unverified, a mandatory requirement under Labor Code section 5902. The applicant's attorney also failed to provide proof of service to the applicant, violating Appeals Board Rule 10778. Despite the dismissal, the Board noted the applicant's claim of receiving less settlement money than agreed and ordered the defendant to pay the difference immediately to avoid penalties, with written confirmation to the WCJ. If confirmation isn't received, the WCJ is to schedule further proceedings.
