CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted the defendant's Petition for Removal, rescinding the prior order that sent the case back for Agreed Medical Evaluators (AMEs). The Board found that the applicant failed to provide any medical evidence of new and further disability over two years after filing a petition to reopen. Since the applicant waived objections by not responding to the defendant's readiness declaration and presented no supporting evidence, the case will now be returned to the trial level for a mandatory settlement conference and potential trial.
