CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinding the prior decision. The Board found that the applicant's claimed cumulative injury was not settled by a prior Compromise and Release agreement, as the agreement specifically limited its scope to four identified specific injuries. However, the Board also determined that the medical evidence presented to establish the cumulative injury was not substantial evidence. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to develop the record on AOE/COE, date of injury, and body parts claimed.
