CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns an applicant's entitlement to a Supplemental Job Displacement Voucher (SJDV). The original decision denied the SJDV due to the absence of a specific Physician's Return-to-Work form. However, the Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding that the employer was sufficiently informed of the applicant's permanent disability status and work restrictions through a Qualified Medical Evaluator's report. Therefore, the Board determined that the applicant substantially complied with the requirements and is entitled to the SJDV, prioritizing substance over strict adherence to a particular form.
