The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the judge's decision, upholding the applicant's psychiatric injury claim. The WCAB gave significant weight to the judge's credibility determinations, finding no substantial evidence to overturn them. The Board also admonished the defendant's counsel for misrepresenting the evidentiary record in their petition. The applicant's injury was deemed not barred by the "6-month rule" because the incident was found to be a "sudden and extraordinary" event.
