CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the employer's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the original findings and returning the case to the WCJ for further proceedings. The Board found inconsistencies in the record regarding the applicant's job duties and the determination of the date of injury and disability. The WCJ's initial finding of July 12, 2012, was contradicted by a later recommendation to set the date of injury as July 13, 2014, based on when the applicant was taken off work by a physician. Further development of the record is needed to clarify the cumulative trauma period and the confluence of knowledge and disability to establish the correct date of injury.
