CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) findings. The ALJ found the applicant's testimony regarding her injury to be unreliable and inconsistent with other evidence, including employer testimony and medical reports. Medical evidence was deemed not substantial because it relied on an inaccurate history of the applicant's job duties and symptoms. Ultimately, the Board concluded that the applicant failed to prove an industrial injury based on the lack of credible testimony and substantial medical evidence.
