CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior decision because the judge improperly relied on a PQME's report that, like the applicant's treating physician's report, failed to review critical medical records. Additionally, the Board found the applicant did meet the six-month employment requirement for a psychiatric injury claim, overturning the prior determination. The case is remanded for further proceedings and a new decision by the WCJ.
