CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a decision finding an applicant's stroke non-industrial. The WCAB found that the primary medical evaluator's analysis was insufficient because it focused only on whether specific employment events caused the stroke, rather than whether employment contributed to underlying conditions. The WCAB noted a duty to develop the record when medical evidence is incomplete or insufficient. Therefore, the case is returned to the trial level for further development of the record and a new decision.
