CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a Petition for Reconsideration that was dismissed by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). The primary reasons for dismissal were that the petition was unverified, as required by Labor Code section 5902, and lacked proof of service on adverse parties. Despite notice of the verification defect from the WCJ's report, the applicant failed to cure it within a reasonable time. The WCAB also denied a supplemental handwritten letter from the applicant due to lack of verification and service.
