CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a petition for reconsideration regarding an applicant's cumulative trauma injury claim. The defendant argued that the WCJ erred by excluding QME reports and presuming the injury compensable. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the original finding, and returned the case for further proceedings. This decision stems from a lack of a properly filed claim form, making the 90-day presumption of compensability inapplicable, and the erroneous exclusion of relevant QME evidence.
