CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the decision finding the applicant did not sustain the alleged injury. The denial was based on the applicant's nearly five-year delay in filing the claim and the fact that the claim was filed on the same day as a reconsideration petition for a prior, related injury case, raising suspicion of a "back-up" strategy. Furthermore, the applicant failed to meet his burden of proof, with unpersuasive testimony and a lack of corroborating evidence.
