CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a decision awarding continuing temporary disability and home healthcare benefits. The Board found that the administrative law judge failed to adequately address the applicant's subsequent non-industrial and industrial injuries, which may be responsible for the current disability. Furthermore, the medical evidence relied upon by the judge did not sufficiently link the disability to the original 2002 injury, and the record lacked sufficient detail and organization for a proper decision.
