The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because it was not filed from a final order. However, the WCAB granted the applicant's petition for removal, rescinded the WCJ's findings, and returned the case to the trial level. This action was taken because the record was incomplete, lacking crucial medical records and evidence of service, preventing meaningful review and a proper decision. The WCAB emphasized the need for a developed record and encouraged the parties to resolve the dispute regarding the advocacy letter informally.
