The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to address the timeliness of the applicant's Petition to Reopen for New and Further Disability. While the WCAB found the petition to be timely filed, they affirmed the original decision that the applicant failed to demonstrate new and further disability. The Board relied on Agreed Medical Examiners who found no worsening of the applicant's orthopedic or internal medicine conditions post-settlement. Despite some conflicting opinions regarding fibromyalgia and psychological claims, the WCAB concluded the evidence did not support a finding of new and further disability.
