CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted CIGA's petition for reconsideration because the original decision lacked clarity on the specific unpaid benefits, delay periods, and the basis for penalties. The Board rescinded the decision and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings to obtain clear findings on delayed compensation, penalty amounts, and attorney fees. This action was taken due to insufficient evidence and vague findings by the administrative law judge regarding the extent of unpaid benefits and the reasonableness of any delay. The case will be reconsidered after the WCJ clarifies these issues with supporting evidence and makes explicit findings.
