CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant seeking reconsideration of a denial for workers' compensation benefits due to a cumulative trauma injury. The administrative law judge found her psyche injury barred because it was predominantly caused by the employer's lawful, good faith personnel actions, including termination. The applicant argued harassment and unjust treatment exceeded this threshold, but her petition was denied. The Board affirmed the denial, finding no substantial medical evidence to support the applicant's claim of industrial causation for her psyche, back, and internal injuries, as these were primarily linked to the employer's actions or pre-existing conditions.
