CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the WCJ's denial of her petition for commutation. The WCJ found that commuting benefits to allow the applicant to purchase a home would result in a net monthly loss of income, based on projected expenses exceeding her reduced income. Applicant argued the WCJ failed to consider future income increases and the stabilization benefits of homeownership. The Board agreed with the WCJ's findings and suggested a new petition could be filed in the future, addressing cognitive disability and financial assistance resources.
