CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior award due to insufficient evidence regarding the applicant's permanent disability. The primary treating physician's report was found to lack substantial evidence, as the applicant denied seeing the doctor on the date of the report and there was no record of an evaluation. The Board remanded the case for further proceedings, emphasizing that any future decision on permanent disability must consider Labor Code section 4658(d) and other relevant evidence, including notice of modified work.
