The WCJ found Gherlone not credible due to inconsistencies in her medical reports and her sworn statement on an EDD claim form that her injury was not work-related and that she did not intend to file a workers' comp claim. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's report and recommendations, affording great weight to the credibility findings.
