The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's order for $5,232.00 in attorney's fees, and returned the matter for further proceedings. This decision was based on the defendant's due process claim that they were not served with the Notice of Intent to Award the fees. The Board found no proof of service for the notice, establishing a violation of due process. Furthermore, the discrepancy between the initially awarded $2,500.00 and the later $5,232.00 fee order requires further clarification at the trial level.
