The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the original decision failed to comply with Labor Code section 5313. The decision lacked specific reasoning and citations to the evidentiary record, making it impossible to ascertain the basis for the WCJ's finding of timely payment. The Board rescinded the decision and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision that properly articulates its findings. This will allow the parties to again seek reconsideration if aggrieved by the new decision.
