CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior award, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The Board found the WCJ's determination of the date of injury as February 2, 1989, was not supported by substantial evidence. Medical evidence and applicant's own statements suggest a cumulative trauma injury sustained from January 1, 1989, through December 31, 1989, with the San Francisco 49ers, not solely attributable to the Chicago Bears on February 2, 1989. The Board also directed the WCJ to address the outstanding child support lien in the new decision.
