CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration as it was not filed from a final order. However, the Board treated the petition as a removal, granted it, and rescinded the prior ruling. The Board then admitted all medical reports marked for identification at trial, finding that the determination of substantial medical evidence goes to weight, not admissibility. The applicant's motion to further develop the record was denied.
