Here is a summary of the case for a lawyer:
The applicant sought to set aside a prior Stipulation with Request for Award based on alleged mutual mistake regarding the inclusion of a right eye injury. The original award, entered in 2017, specifically listed injuries to the left knee, left elbow, and lower back, and the applicant had not previously provided medical evidence linking the right eye issue to his 2014 work injury. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's findings that no mutual mistake was demonstrated and that the board lacked jurisdiction to reopen the award due to the untimeliness of the petition.
