CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to review the applicant's petition challenging the denial of her cumulative trauma injury claim due to the statute of limitations. The administrative law judge found the claim barred, but the applicant argues the date of injury was not properly determined and her timely filing hinges on her primary treating physician's report establishing industrial temporary disability. The WCAB is also addressing the admissibility of key exhibits, including physician reports and the applicant's personnel file, before issuing a final determination.
