CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded prior findings, returning the case to the trial level for further proceedings due to insufficient documentation regarding credit for benefits paid and resolution of EDD liens. The Board also issued a notice of intention to impose a $250 sanction on SCIF for failing to comply with the mandatory rule requiring a computer printout of benefits paid. This failure to provide essential information caused unnecessary delay and appeared to be a bad-faith tactic. The matter requires clarification of calculations and a clear record for review.
