REBECA WISE vs. CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY NORTHRIDGE, permissibly self-insured, administered by OCTAGON RISK SERVICES

The applicant sought reconsideration of a decision that denied an industrial psychiatric injury claim, arguing that the psychiatrist's opinion was not substantial evidence. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, finding the psychiatrist's opinion to be substantial medical evidence that supported the finding of non-industrial causation for the psychiatric injury. The Board also noted that the issue of housekeeping services was not ripe for reconsideration and a clerical error regarding apportionment would be corrected at the trial level.
