CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address the defendant's contentions regarding the applicant's Petition to Reopen. The Board found no good cause to reopen the claim for new and further disability related to the applicant's left upper extremity, left lower extremity, insomnia, urological, or internal conditions. This decision was based on the applicant's failure to present substantial evidence of new and further disability beyond what was previously adjudicated or known at the time of the initial award. However, the Board noted that the employer's liability for medical treatment for these conditions may still exist, irrespective of disability findings.
