CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior award, rescinding the decision and returning the case to the trial level. The Board found that the in vitro fertilization expenses were not fully compensable as requested, only the costs related to the applicant's sperm extraction. Regarding modifications to the applicant's vacation home, the Board questioned their reasonableness as medical treatment, given that the primary residence had already been modified twice. The Board remanded the vacation home issue for further development of the record, specifically to determine if defendant made representations that led the applicant to detrimentally rely on them regarding modifications to a third property.
