CompFox AI Summary
The applicant sought reconsideration of a Compromise and Release agreement approved by the WCJ, which settled his injury claim for $40,000. The applicant argued he did not consent to the settlement, his wages were miscalculated, and his back and knee injuries were unaddressed. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition as premature because no evidence or testimony was presented to support these claims under oath. The Board recommended the WCJ hold a hearing for the applicant to present evidence, after which a new decision can be issued and potentially reconsidered.
