The WCAB treated the petition as a Petition for Removal and denied it, finding no significant prejudice or irreparable harm to the defendant. The WCAB affirmed the WCJ's decision to order further development of the record, citing deficiencies in the existing medical evidence regarding industrial aggravation of the applicant's claimed injury.
