CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the applicant's Petition for Removal, rescinding the WCJ's order to proceed to trial on cumulative injury. The WCAB determined that a trial on whether the applicant sustained a cumulative injury was premature without a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) report. Holding a trial on this issue without medical evidence would constitute a waste of resources and could be viewed as a backdoor dismissal. The case was therefore taken off calendar, allowing the applicant an opportunity to obtain a PQME report.
