CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration and rescinded the trial judge's findings. The Board found the evidentiary record did not sufficiently establish whether the applicant sustained two separate injuries causing distinct periods of temporary disability, or if concurrent disabilities were properly evaluated. The matter was returned to the trial judge for further proceedings to develop the record, particularly regarding the medical opinions on causation and the distinction between injury dates. This decision is not a final determination of the merits.
