CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration regarding four prior decisions that found industrial injuries to various body parts. The WCJ had awarded permanent disability ratings for these injuries but determined the applicant did not sustain industrial injury to her psyche or in the form of sleep disorder. The majority opinion adopted the WCJ's reasoning and found one medical report insufficient due to a lack of reviewed records, thus denying the petition. However, one Commissioner dissented, arguing for further development of the record on the psyche injury issue due to conflicting medical opinions.
