CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration to amend a prior finding. The Board removed the administrative law judge's determination that the PQME's March 20, 2015 report was not substantial medical evidence, as this issue was not properly raised by the parties. However, the Board affirmed the judge's prior order that the PQME improperly canceled the applicant's reevaluation without good cause, necessitating the issuance of a replacement PQME. All other aspects of the original decision, including the denial of sanctions, were upheld.
