CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The defendant argued the applicant's claim was barred by the statute of limitations, as she knew or should have known her condition was work-related earlier. However, the Board adopted the judge's reasoning that the applicant did not have sufficient knowledge of industrial causation until receiving a recent medical opinion. Therefore, the statute of limitations had not yet begun to run.
