CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the original award, and returned the case to the trial level due to inconsistencies regarding the lien claimant's payment of the lien filing fee. The lien claimant admitted to payment issues with the EAMS system, contradicting the WCJ's finding that the fee was paid. Because the validity of the lien claim is contingent on proper filing fee compliance, all related findings, including injury AOE/COE and medical necessity, were also rescinded. A hearing is required to address the lien claim and its potential disallowance, and any sanctions must be reissued after the Appeals Board's decision.
