The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration for lien claimant West Star Physical Therapy, rescinding the WCJ's prior order that reduced West Star's lien to $1400.00. The WCAB found West Star's petition timely, ruling that the WCJ's purported personal service of the order was invalid due to insufficient proof. Furthermore, the WCAB noted the WCJ's order lacked the required evidentiary basis and justification, as it was based on party representations that West Star's representative lacked authority to make. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
