CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded a previous order and returned the case to the WCJ for further proceedings due to procedural deficiencies. The WCJ's findings and order lacked sufficient detail and did not adequately explain the basis for the decision, failing to comply with statutory requirements for findings of fact and summary of evidence. Furthermore, the Board could not determine if an award for temporary disability indemnity had been made, which is a prerequisite for the lien claimant (CCPOA) to be reimbursed for living expenses under Labor Code Section 4903.1(a)(3). The case is being remanded to ensure proper documentation and a clear determination of the temporary disability award before addressing the lien.
