CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding an award of $92%$ permanent disability. The Board found the record inadequately developed and the original decision did not sufficiently address the defendant's numerous contentions, including issues with the temporary disability rate, the timeliness of psychological injury claims, and the consideration of apportionment. Consequently, the Board rescinded the prior award and remanded the case to the trial level for further proceedings and a new, well-reasoned decision addressing all outstanding issues with specific evidentiary support.
