The applicant alleged injury to his psyche and circulatory system, but the Administrative Law Judge (WCJ) found the applicant had not met his burden of proof regarding the alleged stressful workplace events. Medical opinions supporting the applicant's claims were deemed not to constitute substantial evidence, as they relied on a history of injury found not to be credible by the WCJ. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, giving great weight to the credibility findings.
