CompFox AI Summary
The applicant sought reconsideration of a finding that her psychiatric injury was not a compensable consequence of her industrial neck and elbow injuries. The Board found that the prior QME's report, which applicant sought to admit, should have been considered as it was not properly excluded. The Board also noted that the subsequent QME's report did not review the prior QME's findings, potentially rendering it incomplete. Consequently, the Board rescinded the award and returned the matter for further proceedings to admit the prior QME's report and allow the subsequent QME to review it.
