CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a lien claimant's request for reimbursement of $225 for interpreter services, which the WCJ denied twice for being unreasonable without specific explanation. The Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration as the WCJ's order was not final. However, the Board granted removal, finding the denial prejudiced the lien claimant by lacking a proper basis and opportunity for hearing. The Board rescinded the WCJ's order and returned the matter for further proceedings to determine a reasonable fee based on statutory guidelines and evidence.
