The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied both the applicant's and defendant's petitions for reconsideration. The Board upheld the WCJ's finding that the applicant did not sustain an injury arising out of and in the course of employment on February 4, 2010, largely due to credibility issues with the applicant's testimony. However, the Board also affirmed the WCJ's decision that the applicant's petition to reopen for new and further disability for her October 30, 2009 injury was timely filed. This determination was based on correspondence that put the defendant on notice of the claim within the statutory period.
