CompFox AI Summary

In this workers' compensation case, the Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a judge's award of 100% permanent total disability for applicant Karan Singh. The defendant argued the judge improperly relied on a Qualified Medical Evaluator's report and that the evidence did not support industrial causation for incontinence. The Board rescinded the original decision because the trial exhibits were not properly identified, making meaningful review impossible. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to establish a proper record and issue a new decision.
