CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a workers' compensation applicant claiming industrial injury to his psyche, lower extremities, internal system, high blood pressure, and diabetes over a cumulative trauma period. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) found injury to the psyche and lower extremities, but not the internal system or conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. The ALJ also found Republic Indemnity solely liable, with a specific date of injury. Both applicant and Republic sought reconsideration. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, amending the findings to include chronic venous stasis and need for further medical treatment, but deferred key issues like the date of injury, liability, permanent disability, and attorney fees. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision.
