The Appeals Board rescinded the original findings and remanded the case for further proceedings because the Qualified Medical Evaluator's opinion on causation was not based on an adequate history. Specifically, the QME failed to review records or adequately address a prior 2008 stress claim, despite noting it was work-related. The Board requires the QME to consider all prior injury claims to ensure substantial justice.
