The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a decision finding no injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment (AOE/COE). The Board affirmed the WCJ's finding that the applicant's medical evidence was not substantial, as it failed to adequately explain how job duties caused injury and omitted relevant details. Furthermore, the Board deferred to the WCJ's credibility determination, finding the applicant's testimony inconsistent and unreliable. Consequently, the applicant's petition for reconsideration was denied.
