CompFox AI Summary
The applicant sought reconsideration of a WCJ's decision denying benefits for injuries sustained at work, alleging error in crediting defense testimony and denying rebuttal evidence. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to amend the WCJ's order, but otherwise affirmed the decision. The Board found no basis to disturb the WCJ's credibility determination that the applicant's fall did not result in an industrial injury compensable under Labor Code section 3600(a)(5). The Board corrected the order to remove the dismissal of the application, as such dismissal was procedurally improper.
