CompFox AI Summary

Applicant Marco Villa petitioned for reconsideration of a February 19, 2025, Findings and Award (F&A) that found his permanent disability to be 61% and did not categorize his injury as catastrophic. The Appeals Board, after reviewing the petition, defendant's answer, and the WCJ's report, determined that the record was not adequately developed, specifically concerning medical evidence on Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and the proper evaluation of sub-rosa videos in the context of catastrophic injury. The Board granted the petition for reconsideration but deferred a final decision on the merits, indicating further review and proceedings are necessary to ensure a just and reasoned outcome.
