CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration for both the applicant and the defendant regarding the initial Findings of Fact and Award. The Board rescinded the prior award and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings. Key issues included the applicant's alleged injury to his nervous system and psyche, and whether the statute of limitations tolled due to the employer's failure to provide a DWC-1 claim form. The Board found the WCJ's original decision lacked clarity and sufficient basis on these points.
