The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded a prior award and remanded the case for further development of the record regarding Martha Barker's industrial injury claim against Pomona Unified School District. The Board found that Barker sustained injury to her left knee, low back, and upper gastrointestinal system but not her right knee, and requires future medical care. However, the specific liability for her stomach surgery and the exact level of her permanent disability remain unresolved due to conflicting medical reports and WCJ findings.
