PAMELA GASKELL vs. LAWNDALE SCHOOL DISTRICT/SCRMA

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the WCJ's decision, finding the record incomplete and lacking specificity regarding evidence and reasoning. The Board remanded the case to the trial level for further proceedings to ensure due process, including proper exhibit listing, the inclusion of applicant's deposition transcript, and consideration of a formal rating from the Disability Evaluation Unit given the complex medical issues and a prior award. The WCJ must now issue a decision consistent with these requirements.
